creaddictive was an innovation lab with a solid startup network that explored around the idea of producing a fresh blend of web/video/livestream DIY language that showcased around 200 profiles and notes with work from artists, designers, poets, musicians, photographers and creative people from New York, Barcelona, Madrid, Huesca and Tokyo.

Besides networking we produced numerous productions with a great experience filming a low budget documentary about noise music in Brooklyn.

“Hanabi” by Satoko Fujii Tobira

 Monday, January 18th, 2016

 creaddictive Lab | HOME-NYC | HOME-TYO |

Satoko Fujii weaves and unravels the piano’s strings like Penélope and waits for the trumpet that appears and hides among metals and whispers of silk kimonos. From her altar of noble and bright woods, for many years, she has been tying the knots of silhouettes of contemporary music and free jazz melodies as birds in the morning with inflnite patience. She ties and unties, and she mutes or darks piano strings. She manipulates the strings with the same flngers that have stroked the ivory again and again.

Satoko begins to wind the skein with her wise flngers of classical pianist and produces subtle and delicate phrases, that recall the symphonic classicism. In order to twist the sonority and flnd the weakness of the piano king, which is not hidden.

Once she has created the initial embroidery, Satoko seats, watches the keys and sees how the vegetal sounds of bass grow little by little, and the cymbals that climb walls and jump behind the microphones to surprise the awestruck audience. In the middle of the voyage, Satoko does not cease to weave with her ten flngers, but there are times in which breaks the silk thread, she marks the subtle signal to the roar of the trumpet and proclaims the freedom of notes and rhythms. The kingdom of improvisation arrives when the ceremony is presided over by the disheveled scales but corrected by so many effects, syncopation, new scales, reflections of scales, flndings of chords that take refuge in warm breaths of the bass, and new intervals.

A revolution of waves, and crackling sounds of winds between branches, a blaze of kimonos and rice paper while she discovers the silver lining of the initial melody behind the cloud. Satoko backstitches the end of the piece, returning to the calm, stroking several delicate quavers again. Satoko teaches us to listen to what we never heard and, what is more important, she emphasizes the freedom of creation and the inflnity of the music.

“Fujii tirelessly continues to explore the possibilities and expand the parameters of the many groups she’s established over the years, and there is certainly more provocative and exciting listening in storeas she pursues her ultimate goal: “I would love to make music that no one has heard before.”

Animal Sospechoso

(http://www.animalsospechosoeditor.com)  Monday, December 11th, 2017

 cool orgs | HOME-BCN | Must see |

A comienzos de 2002, Juan Pablo Roa y Roberta Raffetto fundaron la revista anual de poesía animal sospechoso en la que proponían una aproximación global al hecho poético abordado en sus raíces más consolidadas: creación, crítica y traducción.

Tras la publicación del número triple 5-7, publicado a finales de 2009, la revista se convierte también en editorial, postergando la publicación de los números siguientes a una segunda serie que reanudará su publicación a partir de 2015.

La primera colección que inicia el ciclo editorial es la de poesía, en la que se publican traducciones de poetas de todos los tiempos de interés para el lector contemporáneo, así poetas cuya trayectoria permita la publicación de una antología o una poesía reunida, así como libros de autores cuya obra no sea asequible en ediciones recientes.

A esta colección seguirá la colección de ensayo, con el fin de ampliar el espectro de la lectura, entendida como una mirada soñadora y vigilante a la vez, que busca en el libro el vehículo de la reflexión. No se olvide que alguna vez Benjamin Franklin afirmó certeramente que «carecer de libros propios es el colmo de la miseria».

ARCA at the Bowery Ballroom. Body music for the active mind.

 Sunday, April 12th, 2015

 HOME-NYC | Review |

Let me quote the adjectives and thoughtful musical descriptions of Jon Pareles in the New York Times on ARCA and let me recommend you the whole article: Arca, Valued Facilitator, Steps Out Front (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/09/arts/music/arca-valued-facilitator-steps-outfront.html?smid=tw-nytimesmusic&seid=auto&_r=0): Crashes, whooshes, sampled

screams. Mournful minor chords, dissolving into distortion or receding into single notes and silence. Deep throbs of bass under splintery percussion. Ghostly processionals. Zaps of static, metallic scrapes, hovering insectlike buzzes. Sloweddown, half-melted hip-hop beats. Floating falsetto melodies under siege from stopand-start chords. A synthesized cumbia mixed as if its tune were being intermittently obscured by clouds. Breakneck drum programming under orchestral strings.

To us we can only subscribe point by point what said Pareles, because is that last Wednesday we witnessed in a great ceremony of discovery. Of new sounds, rhythms, and attitudes, from the body to the mind, from the pace of the anxiety, from the breath until the interrogation and guffaw. An intense synthesis of carnality coupled with sound waves capricious beyond all expectation.

And on top of that, the creativity of Ghersi, a creature without sex floating on their platforms between curtains of metallic sounds, treble, hurtful and angry at the same time. Digital meat and metamorphosed from the shadows of the projector -thanks to the creativity of Jesse Kanda-. Even if only because the surprise, for having created new atmospheres, for having questioned about the music, the sound, its future, it would have been worth it. But our intuition says that there is still much, much more in the future of this Arca, an artist of the unpredictable sound, browser of new emotions.

Avant Music Festival (http://avantmedia.org/what/avant-music-festival/), founded in 2010 by Gibson and Megan Schubert (http://avantmedia.org/who/profile/meganschubert/) as a platform for contemporary American composers to experiment with long-form concerts and the full programmatic experience of their work, and an expanded Season of programming that allows for exploration of large-scale works and singular programmatic visions.

The annual Avant Music Festival offers featured composers the freedom to program a full night of their own music unfettered by concerns of duration, scope, or aesthetics. Our goal as producers is to realize the dreams of the composers we work with.

After five years of successful festivals we are launching a monthly series of concerts, Tangents (http://avantmedia.org/what/tangents-series/2014-15/), to offer this same sort of freedom to performers that we offer to composers, choreographers, creators of work.

BRIC’s Contemporary Artist Registry is the oldest registry of visual artists in Brooklyn, and one of the largest and most comprehensive artist registries in the country. It is free to join and open to artists who were born, live, or work in Brooklyn.

Currently, it has over 1,650 active members and is continually growing. Established in 1983, the Registry became an online resource in spring 2010. The Registry is not curated. Curators, artists, collectors, and other arts professionals from around the world consult the Registry to discover the work of Brooklyn-affi liated visual artists.

The open call exhibition demonstrates the wide breadth of work included on the BRIC Registry and speaks to Brooklyn’s status as an artistic epicenter.

Two prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the exhibition. A “Best In Show” Prize will go to an artwork of exceptional merit selected by BRIC’s Contemporary Art team, with the artist awarded $300 and a solo exhibition of their work at BRIC House the following year. A “Viewer’s Choice” Prize will go to an artwork of exceptional merit selected by the public, with the artist awarded $100 and a profile of their practice on the BRIC Blog.

Elizabeth Ferrer, Vice President of Contemporary Art at BRIC said, “BRIC’s online contemporary artist registry is a rich resource of information, containing the work of over 1,600 Brooklyn-based visual artists. We wanted to bring the Registry to life with an exhibition that could amply demonstrate—from an unfiltered perspective—the range of ideas and approaches that artists are pursuing today. We also wanted to bring attention to the importance of Brooklyn as an international magnet for visual artists. Brooklyn has the largest, densest concentration of visual artists at work in the United States today ranging from world-renowned figures to emerging artists still struggling to find ways to expose their work. Shows like Open Call vitally address this need, and at BRIC House, their work will be seen by a large and diverse public.

A fun place that was closed on late 2014.

“When we first moved onto south 2nd street the only things on our block were a used police car lot and several empty buildings. Now there are a half dozen expensive restaurants, bars, a daycare center and a new condo building (that was an empty lot when we moved in). All ages DIY music venues are almost by definition temporary, and we feel fortunate to have lasted in this space for this long. We knew from the beginning that it couldn’t last forever and we are extremely grateful to everyone who has preformed or attended any of our shows. We are still weighing options about what happens next and will let everyone know more about the future of Death By Audio as soon as we can.”

DIENTES DE CARAMELO: Amar y Amar

(http://cdbaby.com/cd/dientesdecaramelo5)  Wednesday, May 6th, 2015

 HOME-NYC |

New York based Spanish Indie Rock band Dientes de Caramelo (http://creaddictive.com/our-artists/dientes-de-caramelo/) released its first full length album titled “Pulpo” (Octopus) on March of 2012. It has been an amazing creative journey, a totally independent one, which is the fruit of eager labor and the production of the members of the band. This album was recorded in sessions at the flamenco guitarist Jed Miley’s home studio, Manhattan’s East Village Tu Casa studios, Mad Dragon studios at Drexel University in Philadelphia and mixing at Seaside Lounge Studios in Brooklyn. This new single titled “Amar y Amar” was recorded at Seaside Lounge Studios, mixed by Elisa Pangsaeng in Vancouver, Canada and mastered by Marco Ramirez in Texas.

The project started taking shape in 2008 when flamenco guitarist Jed Miley and flamenco singer from Sevilla, Spain, Alfonso Cid met while working together at New York flamenco venues. Jed had an ambition to combine flamenco with rock music before he left his native Seattle. They began composing material and establishing a sound with rock guitarist Kevin Bookhamer, also from Seattle.

Dientes de Caramelo (http://creaddictive.com/our-artists/dientes-de-caramelo/), has given Jed, Kevin and Alfonso the freedom to write music outside of the strict aesthetics of traditional flamenco and thanks to the great help of rock guitarist Chris Morell from Queens, New York, jazz fusion bassist Peter Teresi from New Jersey and drummer Sean Kupisz, Dientes de Caramelo is an American indie rock band with flamenco vocal sounds and romantic lyrics that reach the essence of the human heart.

——– Dientes de Caramelo (http://creaddictive.com/our-artists/dientes-de-caramelo/), una banda de Rock en Español de la Ciudad de Nueva York, lanzó su primer álbum titulado “Pulpo” en marzo del 2012. Este álbum fue un increíble proceso creativo, totalmente independiente, fruto del trabajo, la ilusión y la producción de los miembros de la banda. Este incluyó grabaciones en el estudio del guitarrista Jed Miley, los estudios Tu Casa en el East Village de Manhattan, Mad Dragon en la Universidad de Drexel en Philadelphia y las mezclas realizadas en Seaside Lounge Studios en Brooklyn. Este nuevo sencillo titulado ¨”Amar y Amar” fue grabado en los estudios de Seaside Lounge y mezclado por Elisa Pangsaeng en Vancouver, Canadá y la masterización a cargo Marco Ramírez en Texas.

El proyecto se empezó a fraguar en 2008 cuando el guitarrista flamenco de Seattle Jed Miley y el “cantaor” de flamenco sevillano Alfonso Cid comenzaron a trabajar juntos en los locales de flamenco o “tablaos”, como se les llama en España, de la cuidad de Nueva York. Poco después se dieron cuenta que los dos compartían la misma idea de combinar el flamenco con el rock. Así comenzaron a componer canciones y a influenciar estilos musicales junto con el guitarrista de rock Kevin Bookhamer, también de Seattle.

Dientes de Caramelo (http://creaddictive.com/our-artists/dientes-de-caramelo/), le ha dado libertad a Jed, Kevin y Alfonso de escribir canciones más allá de la estricta estética tradicional del flamenco y gracias a la gran ayuda del guitarrista de rock Chris Morell de Queens, Nueva York, el bajista de jazz fusión Peter Teresi de Nueva Jersey y el baterista Sean Kupisz. Dientes de Caramelo es indie rock americano con una voz de sonoridades flamencas y letras románticas que llegan al corazón de la esencia humana.

Diogenes

 Wednesday, August 10th, 2016  artnews | Collaboration | creaddictive Lab | HOME-NYC | HOME-TYO |

Does a shadow make any sound? and many shadows?

Shadows fall like delicate ashes, bold around the edges, soft as murmuring snowflakes on the inside.

– Nicolás Sánchez Light passes through water and glass like knives of fog in a whisper of delicate ashes. It enfolds wood, creating shadows around its edges and outlining, in negative, a frail profusion, as Nicolás says, of snowflakes. Shadows burgeon and proliferate, powerless to smother the light. They undulate in unison, to the pulse of perpetual motion, amid ceaseless lightning and echoes. Set free in their realm, they dance with the light, intensifying its rhythms and weaving dreamlike textures. Light, shadow, movement, rhythm and cadence envelop the images – the sounds of shadows through the glass.

Diogenes was selected and showcased on: . 4th Under the Subway Video Art Night, 2015. LIC, New York . XXI Muestra de Realizadores Oscenses 2016. Huesca, Spain .

Buffalo MRI (QC)

Driven to explore the meaning and value of sound and memory, buffalo MRI constructs avant compositions crafted from snippets of sound taken from audio cassette. Isolating these diverse fragments of audio detritus, fleld recordings and music, the end result is a musique concrète for the modern age. Alexander studied piano and music theory as a child and as a teenager she was exposed to the cut-up experimentalism of Brion Gysin. She began experimenting with a Walkman recorder, taking fleld recordings of places, people and music to create audio collages which eventually turned into an obsession. Having worked with Montréal collective Never Apart and also been a member of several avant-noise outflts such as Urlapse and Wasted Nymph she has also used the pseudonym Vera Brim. Through recontextualisation, repetition and juxtaposition her work forces the listener to reevaluate their relationship with familiar sounds in unfamiliar contexts. Timeless, transporting and wilfully wonky, her work is both academic and playful, running from unsettling, sparse soundscapes to rhythmic, looping avant-garde mayhem incorporating everything from detuned piano, spliced jungle beats, foley effects and spoken word.

Envenomist (OH)

Some people equate Envenomist with science fiction film scores, and others envision solitary nocturnal travels through bleak urban settings, but a fundamental strength of Envenomist is that these illusory backdrops remain open to interpretation. Taking inspiration from industrial, ambient, and the kosmische music along with altered states of consciousness, the oceanic abyss, and deep space; David Reed has been producing desolate soundscapes under the Envenomist moniker since 2005.

Eva Aguila (CA)

Eva Aguila is a sound and video artist from Los Angeles, CA. Aguila’s background includes video, theater, and music. In 2005 she started her solo noise project called Kevin Shields where she initially drew her inspiration from pieces inspired by experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage. Aguila’s sound-accompanied gestured performance is both the source and the driving force behind her conceptual soundmaking, which has been described as “Sheer cliffs of feedback ice, throbbing and grinding gear distortions, and angelic digital bursts slowly cancel each other out creating additives that are neither impatient nordead.” Composed using magnetic tape manipulated through film-editing machines, the movement required to create these sounds is of central importance to Aguila, whose ideal audience and interaction is with listeners who enjoy the intensity. Aguila has toured extensively throughout Europe and the United States, and has performed in Mexico City, Japan and Hong Kong. She has also been involved in several other projects such as Caldera Lakes and the audio visual project Sporay with her husband Brock Fansler .

Her past discography features releases on Ecstatic Peace, Deathbomb Arc, Blackest Rainbow and Weird Forest. In 2010 she started the experimental public access television show Experimental Half-Hour with Brock Fansler. Eva is also the founder and Artistic Director of Coaxial Arts Foundation, an artist run non-profit arts space dedicated to experimental sound, video and performance art.

Kimberly

Kimberly is the recent work by San Antonio based performance artist Nicki Apostolow. Apostolow’s foundations in movement and sound began to evolve into ftness performance art after opening an underground gym beneath an art gallery to supplement her training at a local wrestling academy. Apostolow utilizes ftness and theatrics in sound art made with found objects, a turntable, and manipulated vinyl records to create an erratically pulverized pastiche of sound. Performances teeter on physicality and fragility, delivering a raucous with a feminine touch. More info: https://vimeo.com/59321957 (https://vimeo.com/59321957)

Leila Bordreuil + special guests

Leila Bordreuil is a Brooklyn based cellist and composer from Aix-en-Provence, France. She works in the realm of Noise music, improvisation, New Music and sound-art. Her cello playing is often improvised, and mainly focuses on texture variations and a collage of phantom overtones and pitched utterances. Through an original vocabulary of extended techniques, preparations, and imaginative amplification methods, her instrument is used as an abstract resonant body to challenge conventional cello practice. Her composed works draw from a similar texture-based musical aesthetic, but also focus on the relationship between sound

and space. In her site-speciflc electro-acoustic compositions, architecture is the foundation of the piece and musicality arises from an organized spacialization of sound. More info: https://www.leilabordreuil.com/ (https://www.leilabordreuil.com/)

LoVid + Produce Consume Robot (NY)

Hive Mind is a collaboration by LoVid and Produce Consume Robot, offering a peek into the future of augmented cooperative cognition. Two performers engage the audience in an on-stage discussion in which no words are spoken. Instead, the brain rhythms of each performer directly generate pulses of light and sound that synchronize the brain oscillations of viewers and create an immersive environment that transports the audience to altered states of consciousness. Based on neuroscientiflc research showing that rhythmic stimuli can entrain neuronal oscillations to alter perception, reaction times, and memory formation, Hive Mind uses the performers’ live EEG and data processing to directly convey the performers’ brain states. As one performer’s brainwaves become the stimuli that entrains the other performer’s brain patterns, a public brainwave-driven conversation unfolds between the performers. Together the performers and audience go on a visceral journey through different induced brain states and altered perceptions, ultimately considering broad implications for the future of human cognition and communication. Hive Mind builds on previous collaborations between Produce Consume Robot and LoVid that have been shown at Hyperplace Harlem, Science Gallery – Dublin, Harvestworks, Daejon Museum, and RIXC, among others.

Negation

Negation began in New York City in 2012. Originally a platform for personal confrontation and social critique, the project has evolved into a more varied practice incorporating noise, action, research, and experience. Ascetic House released a version of the earliest recordings in 2015, followed by tours of the midwest, Canada, and the northeast. Commuter and Two Gifts were self-released in 2016.

Forthcoming are releases with LITF, New Forces, and others. Photo Credit: josephalfredmauro.com.

Race to the Bottom (CA)

Race to the Bottom is solo project of Los Angeles resident, Nial Morgan. Morgan creates sound works that are vulnerable in live settings and self-reflexive in process, using only the minimal procedure of an open tape loop, microphone, and field recordings. Performances utilize whatever means are ready at hand to create an “inside out” environment, a chance to open up unseen channels of communication between the audience and performer via the acoustics of the space.

She is a co-founder of the Dirt Palace feminist art collective in Providence Rhode Island. Formed in 2000, the Dirt Palace has since embodied the oxymoron of “Underground Institution”. Zornoza has performed in the musical projects VVLTVRE, Bonedust, Worms in Women and Cattle, Master of Pussy, Sawzall, and Wold. Photo credit left: Omari Spears, Photo credit right: Sean B. Campbell.

Rubber (() Cement(CA)

Coalescing into a specific burning vision in 1994 Rubber (() Cement was put together as a direct idea for a super science future that will happen. The next technological breakthroughs are realized in a zero-tech way with the emulation of

the unrealized ‘next step’ with the actual “vision” existing in the present (picture a cargo cult with stats on NASA industries). Historically Rubber (() Cement came out of a few shows: one in L.A. with Speculum Fight, coming in contact with a visual bleach blanded ketone solvent that your loose sockets are watching, while the individual mouse clicker would spray paint the entire facial/chest area with an acetone cleaner for maximum excitement-fury inner brain counter attack at any moment during a live escapade. The mainstage computer; CIMEVOX 30084, could shake and twirl it’s reel to reels while playing some of the most tortured synthesizer sounds [like it’s doing something “sounds”]. Wing motherboards were put on later to let it process more information, A newer head for the more developed shows are of a vat grown bat mixed with K+Ataphase protein in different amounts to make a larger effi cient head. The Genetic Rack Pack is a conglomeration of different grown & manufactured mediums. A newer head, grown three times, produced triple bat faces with sensitive ‘bat-radar’ eye-ears and ‘teeth’ that are actual mini map memory sticks of every place that the Gene-rack has been, and the list of every note that was played at every show set. Out of the back of our main “walker” experiment are jetplane fuselage tines & sewage delivery cyst urn pipe that give the over large infant feet a “push”. They unfortunately can only be operated in open air/outdoor venues.

Rubber (() Cement has toured Europe twice,11 tours through Japan working with Hair Stylistics, Utah Kawasaki, CCCC, Hado-Ho, & Violent Onsen Geisha onstage sharing sound formulae together, and played coast to coast in the USA, repeatedly.

Bay area shows have had them playing with Karla LaVey who is the talented organist from The First Satanic Church, top Northern Hemisphere witch, and daughter of Anton LaVey, the author of ‘The Satanic Bible’. Two LPs & a dozen CDs make them fresh veterans skin removal and skeletroning for the top high speed electronic offi ce or entertainment events in your neck of the Errth (their/your Popewaffen-run future home).

Sunken Cheek (NY)

Sunken Cheek is the primary noise effort of upstate NY artist, Weston Czerkies. The project began in 2010 as a side-obsession while playing in hardcore bands in Syracuse, NY until the entity took its definitive shape after moving to Ithaca in 2013.

Sunken Cheek explores the themes of anxiety, paranoia and death through the use of electro-acoustics, tape loops, field recordings and voice. The music is tense and often haunting, intended to both indulge and purge a form of ‘shadow self’ in each performance. Czerkies has released myriad cassettes and 7″s under the moniker through working with many labels, including Aught\Void, Angst, Torn Light, Soft Exit, Turgid Animal, Unseen Force and Found Remains. He also curates releases under his own label, Prime Ruin, which focuses on releasing work from predominantly upstate and Syracuse-related artists. In addition to several other solo recording projects he currently makes up one half of the industrial duo, lace.

ENDE TYMES VI

 Saturday, April 30th, 2016  Brooklyn | creaddictive Lab | electronic music | Festivals | HOME-NYC | HOME-TYO | Must listen | Review |

ENDE TYMES VI is the sixth-annual celebration of Noise, Experimental Music, and Sound Art in outer NYC. This event provides an active environment for artists and fans to celebrate some of the best noise artists in the world. This year the festival will erupt JUNE 2-5 at SILENT BARN and KNOCKDOWN CENTER in Brooklyn and Queens, NYC. Desde los tiempos en que Russolo y sus amigos futuristas descubrieron el poder creativo del sonido libérrimo sin patrones armónicos pitagóricos mucho ha sido el camino investigador recorrido por los aventureros de las ondas más caóticas y apocalípticas. Porque sí, hay algo de apocalíptico en los carteles y convocatorias de Bob Bellerue, que ha asumido el testigo de esa aventura de libre creación y escultura del sonido (ruido llaman algunos) y que pelea cada año por poner en pie este curioso festival desde los intestinos de Williamsburg. Pero es un apocalipsis con aire de familia, apocalipsis integrado (valga la contradicción) en un encuentro de amigos que esculpen, casi a cincel, atmósferas sonoras en el fondo de un oscuro pozo primaveral.

Entre actuación y actuación, protegidos los tímpanos -o no- los miembros de esta sociedad de amigos de las ondas irregulares, salen a ver la luna, a fumar y a discutir sobre digitalismo, analogismo y distorsión. Amables tertulias al olor de la albahaca (hay algo de albahaca plantada en los pequeños jardines). Pero que cuando llega la hora de entrar a experimentar una actuación (no solo es escucha y movimiento: la vibración invade los sentidos y la piel sudorosa en medio de penumbras liberadoras) se introducen religiosamente en el útero sonoro que generan vatios desmelenados y ondas en alocado desboque.

Actuaciones de veinte minutos en estricto orden que comparten mesas, enchufes, etapas de potencia y poderosos amplificadores que cumplen a la perfección la función de construir un espacio sonoro inédito.

Hemos creído atisbar en las actuaciones ciertos patrones sonoros que dominan en la actualidad la investigación ruidista: poderosos graves en forma de sólidos muros, como de interminable trueno nocturno, intentos de integrar la tecnología digital junto a la exploración de los más tradicionales modos de exprimir la electricidad más elemental para retorcer las distorsiones, micrófonos de mano que permiten dibujar los sonidos, y poderosas interacciones físicas como la de Joke Lanz, por ejemplo, que en una impactante actuación restriega el micrófono por su cuerpo y recita poderosos mantras que se funden en loops interminables con la marea de ondas en percusión que crece e invade el ambiente hasta casi dejarnos sin respiración.

A destacar también, por ejemplo, la interpretación al saxo y al cello respectivamente de Don y Camille Dietrich: sobre una base de distorsiones infernales creadas por la delicadeza aparente del cello, aparece el poderoso y viril saxo que dibuja con trazo firme, pero discontinuo y salvaje, la pesadilla del acople poderoso y la interrogación sobre lo que hay más allá del jazz y las escalas.

O Jeff Carey, que traslada a un “joystick” y a una mesa, donde están fijados sus aparatos, los movimientos espasmódicos del punk más audaz esculpiendo muros de hormigón sonoro mientras mueve su cabeza en afirmaciones y negaciones que responden al ritmo irracional del capricho de las ondas. Recordamos en esta ocasión cómo algunos viandantes se asomaban por una puerta de cristal al fondo del escenario intentando comprender qué es lo que pasaba en la oscuridad del local, porque solo oían el ruido apocalíptico que dibujaba en el aire Jeff. Era curioso comprobar el poder de atracción del ruido gratuito, de la vibración salvaje a esas horas del atardecer. Muchos sonreían y algunos, estoy seguro, acababan por entrar en THe SIlent Barn y unirse a la orgía sonora.

Y no olvidamos otras aproximaciones como la de Lea Bertucci y Ed Bear, investigando sobre la propia voz; o Valerie Martino, con patrones más rítmicos.

Y también al propio Bob, que no ceja en su empeño de buscar nuevas sonoridades e invenciones varias para conseguirlas. Esta vez con el esqueleto de un piano, proveniente de su disco Damned piano de 2015. Como un hábil carnicero, Bob introduce micrófonos entre las tripas del piano. Para Bob, en la creación de la pieza no importa tanto el producto final como el proceso y en ese proceso la improvisación y la búsqueda sin final son esenciales.

Apocalípticos, épicos, góticos, ciberpunks o no, la familia del ruido que ha creado Bob en Nueva York celebra cada año una curiosa ceremonia presidida por la amistad, y la búsqueda de nuevas fronteras de la creatividad, lo que, desde nuestra página saludamos con alegría y esperanza. Esperanza especialmente de que Bob encuentre fuerzas y medios para continuar en la empresa cada año. Desde aquí nos atrevemos a apostar por ello y desearle lo mejor.

The Ensemble Studio Theatre is a non-profit creative home where theater artists can develop a body of work over their lifetimes. From emerging to emeritus, we are an ENSEMBLE of member artists and associates, working together within our STUDIO to create and refine bold, authentic new work that can then be shared with an audience in our West 52nd Street THEATRE and in theaters everywhere. While applications are always considered, membership is generally extended to artists only after they have taken part in EST projects and contributed to the life of the theater. Membership in our company is an honor, but more important, it is a commitment–to honestly create and freely collaborate, to generously give time, energy, vision, love and support to our fellow artists and our audience.

Exapno is a new music community center. What does that mean? It’s a place where musicians come to compose, rehearse and perform for the monthly price of a gym membership. In a city where renting rehearsal space can be prohibitively expensive and isolating, Exapno creates a cheaper, more inviting option. Though composing is generally seen as a lonely pursuit, Exapno fosters a community of composers working side by side in a supportive work environment. With no hassle, Exapno members simply sign out the mainspace to get their work heard in an informal concert setting. More broadly, members beneft from the rich opportunities found in the diverse talents of our music community.

Experimental Intermedia, or EI, started in 1993 as an artist initiative presenting experimental intermedia, image and sound installations, performances and concerts. The Gent based artist initiative promotes and supports artists which are actively applying experimental technological media in the contemporary arts field.

EI presents works by international visual and sound artists with the intent of enhancing the communication between the various agents involved in the creation and dissemination of intermedia and exposing the international tendencies in the field to as wide an audience as possible.

EI organizes exchange projects with other artist initiatives in Europe, America and Asia. These international projects are a forum where artists communicate about their differences and experiences, regardless of the historical contexts or geopolitical and cultural structures. The organization supports travel funding and promotes collaborative projects between artists from different countries and disciplines.

The Experimental Intermedia projects where made possible thanks to the participating artists and the collaboration of Guy De Bièvre, Peter Morrens, Rik De Boe, An Seebach, Jens Brand, Shinichi Sakai, Shinichi Yanai, Yosuke Ito, Daniela Swarowsky, Guy Van Belle, Dirk De Wit, Petra Bungert, Jan Blondeel, Lucas Pellens, Jos Clevers, Hans Van Heirzele.

440gallery (http://440gallery.com) is presenting an exhibition by Brooklyn artist Fred Bendheim (http://creaddictive.com/our-artists/fred-bendheim/): A Retrospective On

the Theme Of Water. The exhibition will run from January 14 – February 14, 2016.

This is Bendheim’s second solo show at 440 Gallery and his first retrospective exhibition. The show includes work from 1978 to the present, and includes paintings on canvas as well as the artist’s trademark work, shapings, shaped paintings on wood and pvc board and painted relief sculptures. The works on view highlights the artist’s career and stylistic journey from early figurative paintings to his more recent abstractions. Water, in it’s many forms, is the unifying theme of the works.

The artist has always been fascinated by the symbolic and metaphoric aspect of water and it’s ability to take on any form and color, to change it’s state from liquid to solid, and yet remain water. Works on view will include the 1978 painting, “The Red Wave”, one of the artist’s earliest works, painted in California, and showing the influence of a diverse range of interests from Henri Matisse to Hokusai.

It does this through exhibitions, performances, lectures, symposia, residencies, publications, multicultural events and educational programs.

MCNYC does synesthesia of creativity in the widest sense of the word. We believe in crosspollination, mutations, and integration of discourses across the artistic flelds.

We present the place where the fusion of ideas transforms the reality and open venues of lucid thinking.

Helado Negro at Blue Note

HELADO NEGRO Saturday, January 16th at Blue Note Jazz Club, NY (https://www.facebook.com/BlueNoteNYC/)

One of the great discoveries that still offers the city of New York is the treasure of certain alchemical combinations that defy the logic of the culture and art (if there is any). From Equador, growing among Miami Latino b-boys, listening and sampling sounds and melodies of the most eminent Latin American troubadours of the past the proud mood of this young Latino of Brooklyn, Roberto Lange, Helado Negro is forged in the eighties.

But it seems that this alchemy is marinated with electronics, concrete music influences, minimalism, and the recognition of Latin identity with a soft electronic lullaby.

And also, the protagonist of this combination decides one day to present his latest album in the acoustic in the cathedral of the New York jazz scene, the Blue Note. In that magic cauldron has been cooked over a slow fire this happy alloy, that smokes by the roofs and water tanks of the old Brooklyn.

But the magic potion has other aromas like the happy serendipity “creaddictivesque”: one of the friends and musical reference of Roberto Lange is Jace Clayton, DJ Rupture, a participant in numerous editions of “Periferias”, in Huesca, a reference and snappy Festival around the world.

Last January 16th we listened with surprise of alchemists the melodies and vocal steam of this musician of black and frizzy hair and his Latino Lullaby: Young, Latin and proud. This time in acoustic format. Two sweet and blond saxophones and expert guitarrist accompanied Roberto directly from Williamsburg.

Precisely it is from these mixtures and serendipities Creaddictive arose, and, we can say, the most original and innovative feature of the culture today. Hence our existence, hence our efforts to nurture these potions from time to time, and attend the call of the aroma of the magic cauldron in this city of cities.

Esta vez en formato acústico. Acompañaban a Roberto dos dulces y rubios saxófonos venidos directamente de Williamsburg, y expertos guitarristas neoyorquinos Es precisamente de estas conjunciones estelares, de la mezcla, de la serendipia de donde surgió Creaddictive, y nos atrevemos a decir, de donde surge lo más original e innovador de la cultura actual.

House Of Yes

()

 Tuesday, October 16th, 2018  Brooklyn | cool orgs | Cool spaces NYC | electronic music | Experimental | Festivals | HOME-NYC |

From July of 2008 to August 2013, House of Yes ran a circus theatre and creative event space in East Williamsburg Brooklyn, hosting aerial classes, creative events and circus theatre. Although we lost our space to rising rent, House of Yes did not lose its passion and dedication to making amazing performance for amazing audiences.

After six months of searching for a new space, House of Yes finally signed a 10 year lease along with new collaborators Justin Ahiyon and Ilan Telmont. Located in Bushwick right outside the Jefferson Street L train stop, the location of the newest House of Yes has brought us full circle, back to the neighborhood where it all started.

HOW IT BEGAN The First House of Yes started innocently enough- in April of 2007, a friend of a friend was looking for someone to take over their lease on a 2,500 square foot second floor loft located at 19-49 Troutman Street. The place was a wreck, a hippie- punk squat house complete with hallways filled with trash, leaky ceilings and curious odors. “It is perfect” said Anya Sapozhnikova. She signed the lease.

And so it began. This was a project driven by passion, not dollars. The goal was to build a true creative live/ work space that could host an occasional dance party or circus class. Walls were torn down, kitchens were installed, studios were created, stages were built. After deliberating names such as “Crystal Palace” and “Troutwick Bushman” the House of Yes was eventually dubbed “House of Yes”.

The rooms were rented to artists, musicians, dancers and creatives who became family, collectively hosting dinner parties, movie screenings, yoga mornings and monthly dance parties. Every week, the House of Yes collective invited the extended community over for Make Fun Sewing Nights (Tuesdays) and Circus Skill Share nights (Wednesdays). Anya’s Best Friend from High School Kae Burke had moved in, and everyone lived happily forever and ever… until April 22nd, 2008 when a kitchen fire turned the candy-colored bohemian paradise into a blazing inferno. It required 8 fire trucks to extinguish the fire. The House of Yes lasted less than a year.

Sound systems and sewing machines became molten plastic and costumes and bedrooms turned to colorless ash.

The beloved cat pilgrim could not be rescued. Although the rest of the residents made it out alive, they had lost not only their possessions but also their creative homes and art space.

Yes to support by taking classes, seeing performances, coming to events or volunteering their time to be with like minded creatives.

Dice la policía de Nueva York que si ves algo debes decir algo. Denuncia, grita, mueve los brazos al viento, pronúnciate, exprésate. Cada día vemos y oímos infinidad de cosas que, sin tener que denunciarlas, es preciso comunicarlas.

Algunas de ellas quedan en nuestra retina y en lo más profundo de nuestro pensamiento sin que seamos capaces de ser conscientes de ello. A veces surgen en el sueño, o en breves momentos de éxtasis.

Denunciamos, proclamamos la caligrafía celeste y japonesa del fluido de electrones.

Miramos arriba y vemos el mapa secreto, el palimpsesto gramatical de la vibración y el silencio. Escuchamos con los ojos la multiplicación de líneas caprichosas que dibujan la onda eléctrica que guía nuestros pasos. El azul permite enredarse al hilo y al acorde, y cientos de vibráfonos encendidos de alegría eléctrica nos sacuden la mirada en el recorrido. Comunicamos, denunciamos que el cielo también tiene sus caprichos de líneas y que el hombre, sin saberlo, dibuja sus pentagramas en el aire mientras mira hacia arriba. Nos gusta mirar hacia arriba.

Inclusive Disjunction

 Saturday, July 22nd, 2017  artnews | Exhibition | HOME-NYC | News | PRESS RELEASE |

Inclusive Disjunction, brings together flve artists who had once been classmates at the Belgrade Fine Arts Academy, but had since gone their separate ways. Having all independently arrived in New York City over the years for various reasons, they are now reunited in an exhibition that reflects on home, migration, and identity.

The title of the exhibition refers to an operation in Logic. It normally takes two inputs, whereby the statement is false when both inputs are false, otherwise it is true. Put in another way, as long as one of its statements is true, then the whole statement is true. A similar operation is at work when each of the artists speak about their experience moving from Serbia to New York City. They not only have to adapt to the language and customs, but also reexamine and recontextualize their own works within a new discourse. Despite this, their identity as an artist remains true, even if one of the variables, or city, no longer is home.

Formulated in Logic as: p: Serbia q: NYC p v q =T !p v q = T p v !q = T !p v !q = F

Marija Markovic In my work, The Carpet, I recreate a pattern used in the traditional Serbian carpet, called Pirotski Ćilim. The carpet is made using unique and complex weaving technique, which create identical patterns on the top and bottom surfaces. They were traditionally made by poor women as a way of making a living. The knowledge of weaving was passed down through the maternal line. Due to the carpet’s fame and international recognition, they became masculinized and repurposed as a new symbol of the neo-national state. It became a specifically Serbian object, and a symbol to be proud of. It suddenly populated all the essentially anti-modern, new-old architectural spaces of post-communist Serbia.

This newly repurposed, and ultimately masculine, symbol is in stark contrast to the carpet’s original feminine heritage. The original history was robbed and replaced by a new one. In the light of its nationalistic repurposing, I took an ambivalent attitude to the carpet and wanted to recognize its true origins. In my installation, I reproduce the pattern of the carpet, but the pattern is now balanced above the ground on needles that embody my aching ambivalence. By choosing to work by long crafting method, the performance resembles the original process it took to make the Pirotski Cilim. The intensive labor is not visible in the delicately crafted object, therefore it makes the whole work seem effortless. The emancipatory part of the work comes from the beautiful reflections that emerge on the walls surrounding the installation when illuminated. The resulting reflection serves to once again open up the pattern’s history, and suggest a third interpretation beyond these clashes of narratives. My aim is to create disbelief in the pattern’s current singular role as a national symbol.

The installation is both beautiful and uncomfortable to look at, with the strong reflected light and optical vibration that pierces the viewer’s eyes.

Nikola Nikoletic Capitalism and renaissance is a project I started during my studies in Belgrade Fine Art Academy in 2011. It serves as a criticism to the system in which I was participating in. Today, I live and create in New York City. I didn’t make any real progress with changing the environment. Here, the air still smells like capitalism, so much so, that some experts say it needs a renaissance. Therefore, continuing this project makes a lot more sense today. In this exhibition, I’m presenting one of the first and last artworks of this project. Development of this project is an expression of the dirty and run-down parts of New York, where I will present something that looks like museum art in street art form.

Mensur Bojda It seems like I am having a couple of dreams. Introvert, meditative, but in a hot way, full of tension. I feel that my personal experiences are touching the culture in general. Therefore, in some of my cycles one is joyful and allows me a certain identification, but the others are just the opposite. Let me call them melancholic handwriting, which has its own power. It is driven by cramping, a nervous painting scar, and the expression of pain and anger characteristic of the genuine expressionism, and of the still modern postexpressionism.

Lazar Milanovic My work is based on both the real and the imaginary, with unconscious contents and narratives weaved throughout various styles and mediums. I incorporate the traditional, such as painting and drawing, as well as using contemporary mediums,

such as photography or video, in order to document the working process.

Although most of my work centers around the human body (figures, bio-processes, intimacy, and the exploitation/perception of the body in society), my approach varies from my personal motivation and imperatives. Whether it is by presenting rustiness, deviance, and disintegration, or by using semantic, symbols, and myths with intention to change its context, the process of creating usually leads me from the abstract to the real.

Vladan Sibinovic Vladan Sibinovic was born in Belgrade, Serbia, and received his MFA in Painting from the University of Arts in Belgrade. During his junior year, he was a recipient of Traunkirchen Akademie Summer Fellowship, where he had the opportunity to work with artists such as Arnulf Rainer, Eva and Adele, and Xenia Hausner. After his graduation, he had the opportunity to be involved in many projects through art residency programs, including Glo’ Art in Belgium and the International Summer Academy of Fine Arts in Salzburg, where he was working with artist Imran Qureshi.

Sibinovic continues to work as a member of the Atelier 8 group in Serbia. Vladan currently lives in NYC and works at Takashi Murakami’s NY studio. A special segment of his work is dedicated to the question of human communication – verbal and body language. Namely, he questions our relationship with the city environment, individual and the society, sameness and difference.

Knockdown Center is an art center and event space dedicated to unusual projects and collaborations.

The 50,000 square foot building has seen continuous use for more than 100 years: flrst as a glass factory, then as a door factory. It is named for the Knock-Down door frame that was invented here in 1956 by Samuel Sklar and remains an industry standard to this day. The frame could be shipped in pieces — or “knocked down” — and installed into existing walls, revolutionizing the speed and eficiency of building construction.

The factory has since remained in the Sklar family and is again a site for innovation.

Having undergone a renovation that is equal parts preservationist and state of the art, Knockdown Center now produces and hosts cultural events and exhibitions that respond to its unique architecture and dimensions. Featuring programming of diverse formats and media, Knockdown Center aims to create a radically crossdisciplinary environment.

Let me go, Father

 Tuesday, February 14th, 2017  artnews | cool orgs | Creaddictive Connection | Exhibition | HOME-NYC |

Political structures such as gender, cultural appropriation, and bipartisan government pressure individuals to maneuver pre-e xisting systems. In the film Yojimbo(1961) Akira Kurosawa takes on this idea of bilateral paradigms and how an individual can affect these structures. “Let me go, Father” is the opening line from Yojimbo revealing a son’s desire to escape his small town’s struggle between two rival gangs. When a disillusioned and unemployed samurai named Sanjuro enters the town, he opportunistically offers his service as a fighter to both sides.

Acting as a catalyst with no incentive of success for either party, Sanjuro upsets a perilous dynamic by exposing each gang’s lust for power and fortune. After decimating both the gangs and their resources used to monopolize the town, Sanjuro is left once again with no means or purpose and leaves with nothing but his experience.

In AJ Springer’s interpretation of Yojombo, the structures mimic the cinematography that begins the film strictly in vertical and horizontal eye level angles. Once the dynamic in the plot starts shifting, so do the camera positions that portray the scenes. This subtle and subliminal shift of perception is echoed by the installation, which creates a two-sided environment conflicting with both outside elements and the path of the viewer. By placing the observer inside of the work, Springer challenges the participant to recognize and question their part in this dichotomous system.

As Sanjuro uses his authority to manipulate both gangs, he highlights the division and tension within the town. In reference to this idea, Ryota Sato equates Sanjuro to a glass case dividing the audience and the artwork in a museum. An institution has the power to decide who the audience is and what defines art. By questioning and complicating the existing system of anthropocene, his works challenges the viewer to consider the process of systems creating political divisions.

In Lauren Goldstein’s project “Growth,” the plaster sculptures of women’s bodies entangled and growing as branches along the wall are intended to personify nature in an organic composition. Many of the women in Yojimbo are trapped in social settings that keep them restricted and weak. Goldstein’s use of bodies bursting out of the walls suggest an opportunity to escape former boundaries by representing vitality, connection to nature, equality, and strength.

There are two remakes of Yojimbo, A Fistful of Dollars(1964) by Sergio Leone and Last Man Standing(1996) by Walter Hill.

This idea of inspiration and appropriation influenced Mensur Bojda’s triptych painting. The figures depict a man walking on the edge of ethics, in the void between the friction of greed and hate. Through the use of complementary colors, repeated compositions, and adaptation Bojda constructs a reliance between each piece to parallel the relationship between each film.

Through drawing and painting Weston Frazor is interested in how perception and depictions of perspective can affect the viewer. In the fllm, Sanjuro maneuvers his way through a town void of moral. Similarly, Frazor’s work invites the viewer to navigate skewed perspectives, lost horizons, and unsightly material representation.

Here, things are off but nothing receives preference leaving only the experience of viewing. By illuminating a lack of hierarchy, his works shifts our focus to the importance of perception.

LOOP is a platform dedicated to the study and promotion of the moving image.

Founded in 2003, since its creation it offers a specialized audience a curated selection of video-related contents from challenging perspectives. While teaming up with an international community of artists, curators, gallerists, collectors and institution directors to develop projects which aim at exploring the capacities of video and film in today’s contemporary art discourses, it yearly hosts LOOP Barcelona, a special meeting point that unfolds into three main sections.

Respectively, the Fair (https://loop-barcelona.com/about/#) is a selection of contemporary artists films and videos presented by international galleries in a unique viewing experience; the Festival (https://loop-barcelona.com/about/#), a series of proposals related with moving image creation in the form of exhibitions, screenings and live performances around the city; and the Studies (https://loopbarcelona.com/about/#), a series of talks, workshops and professional meetings that foster the recognition and appreciation of video and film. Throughout the year LOOP undertakes projects that develop in collaboration with leading international agents and materialize in different formats and locations (from commissions to touring exhibitions in leading venues, conferences and film programs, among others).

Our concern for video steers in the direction of providing visibility, encouraging encounters, producing knowledge and works, and supporting the market.

Furthermore, it has been the driving force behind the construction of our video collection, yearly enriched through selected works presented at LOOP Fair, and later lent to the MACBA.

Lubomyr Melnyk at Le Poison Rouge

 Friday, November 27th, 2015

 HOME-BCN | HOME-MAD | HOME-USK | Review |

Como un eremita ortodoxo saliendo de su cueva se apareció Lubomyr Melnyk (http://www.rbmaradio.com/people/lubomyr-melnyk) ante el público del Poisson Rouge para compartir una experiencia casi mística desde el piano.

Nos habló del milagro pianístico y de lo que él entiende por música continua.

Desde los tiempos del poder floral del hipnotismo de Terry Riley y de toda la elucubración minimalista regresa este monje barbado a elevar catedrales sonoras utilizando como material constructivo millones de corcheas, semicorcheas y fusas en interminables olas de mar y a veces tsunamis de cuerdas vibrando entre maderas brillantes.

El oyente no tiene más remedio que nadar, surfear o sumergirse entre la espuma y abandonarse al placer de la ola, de la desbandada de pájaros sonoros que nos rodean y elevan. Pero lo importante aquí, según Lubomyr, es la experiencia física de la interpretación y su posibilidad de ser traducida en intimidad cómplice al espectador. Aclara Lubomyr que no es trance el del pianista continuo, es una fusión de dedos, brazos, mentes y cuerdas golpeadas con las notas, miles de ellas, lanzadas al aire; fusión con el espíritu de esa nave de lujosísimas maderas y olores nobles y reflejos, el hermoso y aristocrático piano, que se convierte en humilde barca al servicio del explorador de paisajes sonoros. Cambia el cuerpo del intérprete, cambia la luz, el aire. La vibración de tantas notas en inverosímiles arpegios inacabables terminan por transformar las puertas de la percepción, como querían los gurús de antaño.

Y entramos en danza mental, al modo de los derviches giróvagos hasta que muy lentamente, muy sutilmente, las aves de cada melodía entrelazada, anudada, abrazada por dedos veloces se van posando en cada rama, en cada roca, en cada

oído que despierta dulcemente a la realidad.

Mermaid Parade, founded in 1983, is a celebration of ancient mythology and honkytonk rituals of the seaside, it showcases over 3,000 creative individuals from all over the flve boroughs and beyond, opening the summer with incredible art, entrepreneurial spirit and community pride. The parade highlights Coney Island Pageantry based on a century of many Coney parades, celebrates the artistic vision of the masses, and ensures that the summer season is a success by bringing hundreds of thousands of people to the amusement area in a single day.

The MERMAID PARADE speciflcally with 3 goals:

Brings mythology to life for local residents who live on streets named Mermaid and Neptune Creates self-esteem in a district that is often disregarded as “entertainment” Lets artistic New Yorkers find self-expression in public Unlike most parades, this one has no ethnic, religious, or commercial aims. It’s a major New York holiday invented by artists! An American version of the summersolstice celebration, it takes pride of place with West African Water Festivals and Ancient Greek and Roman street theater. It’s features participants dressed in handmade costumes based on themes and categories set by us. This creates an artistic framework on which artists can improvise, resulting in the flourishing of frivolity, dedication, pride, and personal vision that has become how New York celebrates summer.

Nicolas Sanchez at creaddictive Lab

 Monday, November 2nd, 2015  creaddictive Lab | HOME-NYC | Must listen | Must see |

Live stream celebration of the 1,000,052nd anniversary of art, hosted by creaddictive Translated by Charlie Palmer from an original text by Jose Callen

Nicolás Sánchez, the bard, comes from a northeastern corner of Spain. Nicolás plies his art in his attic-studio, amid pictures, sounds, and rhythms, in an atmosphere tinted by a purplish light – fearless, performing, streaming to the world. Here, in Brooklyn, we open a window to a group of lovers of all creative expressions.

Using only his voice, Nicolás breathes new life into four poems, which coalesce into a personal universe. His voice, secret messages, rhythms and melodies are hidden away in drawers, jars, manuscripts, keychains and the sounds of pigeons’ wings fluttering against his attic windows.

His words, shrouded in whispers, coil like worms into our ears. Nicolas recites, sings, and exudes atmosphere. He interrogates and creates a dialog with the authors.

But even more, his performance floods the studio with the fragrance of a hot soup of poetry, simmered to perfection. His voice is at times melancholic, at times playful; like a classical painter, he is a discoverer of new sensations, revealing new paths and perspectives.

We asked him: – Who is Liquen? Why Villon? Paraphrasing Leopoldo María Panero?

If poetry were a religion, it wouldn´t be monotheistic. It would have neither heaven nor hell. The hell would be a list of demons, devils and small devils, a Parnassus. * Liquen: David Maravillas (http://paraguerodelaribera.blogspot.com)

* Leopoldo María

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopoldo_Mar%C3%ADa_Panero)

-Tell us about Labordeta; and what is the process to compose music and the tone?

Miguel came to kill the beast, it took a long time. While he was between us, he left us few books.

Work is a process. It has movement – goes from here to there; sometimes it may seem a little bit crazy. * miguel Labordeta

(https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Labordeta)– Could you recommend a place in the world to drink a glass of wine, and a book?

El Imperdible, Remolinos, Zaragoza. Spain. There you can also fnd books.

– Tell us about your favorite sound. And about your favorite color or combination of colors?

My favorite sound has melancholy and can be solemn, and, most important, it sounds with contrast. The sound is an unstoppable continuum to which we are synchronized even before our birth. We can never avoid it, because we cannot close our ears. Our attention is the focus; the silence has similar dimensions; we hear as we look to the sky, searching.

– Define your environment. The hazy, murky town of the Pyrenean foothills. With a word. Or two.

FOSCA (dark) V TOSCA (rough) V UNIVERSAL HUESCA – Your favorite words. And why those.

Donno.

-What is a performance? Does it make sense to recite poems before a group of ghosts?

I am constantly adjusting the meaning and sense that that word has for me.

That day I sang again. Don´t know what for. Don´t know to whom.

– What poems would you recite in New York? And in Loporzano?

The whole world is Huesca. And Huesca is the whole world.

In New York is the same?

Asoma una mañana desde una esquina del noreste de la Península desde su mansarda llena de trebejos sonoros, Nicolás Sanchez, el bardo. Nicolás se rodea de cuadros, de sones, ritmos y atmósferas y una luz de pintura violácea en su buhardilla interior para lanzarlo todo a la cara del Océano Atlántico y cruzar hasta el auditorio virtual de este grupo de enamorados de todo esfuerzo creativo. Nicolás pone en pie varios poemas.

Su voz teje nuevos mantones que se ponen encima los poemas, y los hace suyos. Su voz y los mensajes secretos de ritmos y melodías que se esconden entre cajones, frascos, manuscritos, llaveros, cristales y batir de alas de palomas en el palomar.

Murmullos musicales que arropan las palabras y se enroscan como lombrices en los oídos descansados del espectador.

Nicolás recita, canta, construye atmósferas, interroga y dialoga con los autores, y sobre todo, lanza al aire infinito el aroma de caldo caliente de poesía cocinada y preparada al dente. Su voz a veces melancólica, juguetona, su voz de pintor clásico o de inventor de nuevas sensaciones sonoras compone en el aire un nuevo pentagrama.

Le preguntamos: – ¿Quién es Liquen? ¿Por qué Villon? ¿Rememorando el acercamiento de Leopoldo

María? la poesía si fuera una religión no seria monoteísta, no habría cielo y el infierno, la descripción que se haría del infierno, seria una lista de demonios, de diablos y diablillos, un parnaso

– Cuéntanos algo de Labordeta y, ya de paso. Cuál es el proceso de trabajo para fijar

las músicas y el tono del rapsoda. Miguel vino a matar a la fiera, le llevo un tiempo, fue el tiempo que estuvo entre nosotros. nos dejó algunos algunos libros. el trabajo es un proceso, tiene movimiento, va de aquí para allá, a veces puede parecer un poco loco.

– Recomiéndanos un lugar en el mundo para beber un vino. Y un libro.

EL IMPERDIBLE. Remolinos. Zaragoza. Spain. allí se pueden encontrar también libros y lobros – Háblanos de tu sonido favorito. De tu color o combinación de colores.

tiene melancolía y puede resultar solemne, juega sobre todo con el contraste el sonido es un comtinum incontenible al que estamos sintonizados ya antes de nacer y del que no salimos jamás, no se pueden cerrar los oídos, la atención pone el foco, el silenccio tiene las dimensiones de esa atención y así se escucha como se mira al cielo, buscando preguntas y respuestas.

– Defínenos tu entorno. La ciudad brumosa del prepirineo. Con una palabra. O dos.

FOSCA V TOSCA V UNIVERSAL HUESCA – Tus palabras favoritas. Y por qué.

no se – Qué es una performance. ¿Tiene sentido recitar poemas ante un grupo de

espectros?

Estoy ajustando permanentemente el significado y el sentido que esa palabra tiene para mí.

Aquel día volví a cantar no se para quién no se para qué – ¿Qué poemas recitarías en Nueva York? ¿Y en Loporzano?

Todo el mundo es huesca, Huesca es todo el mundo. ¿EN nueva york pasa lo mismo?

Una nostalgia catalizadora. Dicen los griegos que la nostalgia es el dolor de la imposibilidad del regreso. Viejos dinosaurios decidieron reunirse a celebrar la vida y la creación en torno a una estufa, pero no a contar batallas, sino para abrir los micros, las orejas, las ansias de creatividad. No hubo más que entusiasmo y un afán adolescente por buscar músicos, poetas, técnicos, magos y un público inédito, que redescubría callejones y cielos de la noche de agosto. Y amistades olvidadas.

Todos ellos merecen nuestro agradecimiento, porque, lejos de buscar en la nostalgia una autosatisfacción provinciana, abrieron micrófonos a nuevas ideas, nuevos planteamientos y la semilla catalítica de nuevos Open Mics.

Lorenzo Sanjuan presented in New York Outside roots, which implies an intelligent retrospective of the main ideas, messages and concepts that illuminate his work.

The sensitivity and imagination of this creator have been building the notion of home, the house of creativity: home with foundations and flying roots. That notions feeds on the experience of the look outside, from the origin in a small town near the Pyrenees passing through Barcelona, London, Tokyo, until the apotheosis of the architectural madness, New York, where we can see the gable roofs. Walls and roofs with wings that, in the case of one of the most original sculptures are made of gongs, of cymbals, that awaken the desire of the creation.The privacy of the creative impulse also becomes a sound message to his contemporaries to attract attention to the need for the creation and art in our society.

Free painting, warm and simple, with homey light, sometimes illuminated by the flash of the obsessions of childhood, by the simple and sincere line of the truth and the passage of time. And influenced by the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi. To understand the beauty as wisdom in natural simplicity from the modest, rustic beauty or serenity that comes with age, when the life of the object and its impermanence are evidenced in its patina and wear. Fujiwara no Sadaie, Japanese poet of the XII century could reflect in this poem the authentic spirit of the wabi-sabi:

As I look afar I see neither cherry trees Nor tinted leaves Only a modest hut on the shore In the twilight of an autumn eve.

However, Lorenzo, in his cosmopolitan flight surpasses the haiku wabi-sabi with new explorations of identity and nature. It appears the game of faces of Janus: double gaze, indoor and outdoor, to the past, and to the uncertainty of the future.

Faces of a double glance, of constant questioning. But from the creative impulse can even build spaces, giving rise to the third dimension in nature, as in the case of the sculptural project for Socrates Park in New York.

Lorenzo Sanjuan, in his first solo exhibition in New York, in the heart of Brooklyn, offers us a sample of his creative world, chaired by the same spirit that dominates these pages: the desire for the creativity and profound conviction that the creation and art can change the world.

Outside Roots por Lorenzo Sanjuan

 Sunday, August 30th, 2015

 artnews | HOME-BCN | HOME-MAD | HOME-USK |

Lorenzo Sanjuán presento en Nueva York Outside roots que supone una inteligente retrospectiva de las principales ideas, mensajes y conceptos que iluminan su plástica. Y es que la sensibilidad e imaginación de este creador han ido construyendo -nunca mejor dicho- a lo largo del tiempo la noción de hogar, de casa de la creatividad: hogar con cimientos y raíces voladoras, que se nutre de la experiencia del mirar afuera, desde el origen en una pequeña ciudad cerca de los Pirineos pasando por Barcelona, Londres, Tokio, hasta llegar a la apoteosis de la locura arquitectónica, Nueva York, donde triunfan también los sencillos tejados de pizarra a dos aguas. Tejados con paredes y alas que, en el caso de una de las más originales piezas escultóricas que se muestran están hechos del gong, del platillo que despierta el afán de la creación. La intimidad del impulso creativo se convierte también en un mensaje sonoro a sus contemporáneos para llamar la atención sobre la necesidad de la creación y el arte en nuestra sociedad. Pintura libre, de tacto tibio y sencillo, de luz familiar, iluminada a veces por los destellos de las obsesiones de la infancia, por el trazo simple y sincero de la verdad y el paso del tiempo. E influida en sus texturas en muchas ocasiones por la estética japonesa del wabi-sabi: comprender la belleza desde lo modesto, lo rústico, la imperfección de la textura del trazo, lo dulcemente avejentado por la simple naturaleza, la impermanencia de la existencia. Fujiwara no Sadaie, poeta japonés del siglo XII reflejó quizá, en este poema el auténtico espíritu del wabi-sabi:

Miro a lo lejos y no veo cerezos ni hojas matizadas: sólo una modesta cabaña en la playa a la luz de un atardecer de otoño.

No obstante, Lorenzo, en su vuelo cosmopolita supera el haiku wabi-sabi con nuevas exploraciones sobre la identidad y la naturaleza. En la exposición aparece el juego de rostros de Jano: doble mirada: al interior y al exterior, al pasado en el seno materno y a la incertidumbre del futuro. Rostros de doble mirada, de interrogación constante, pero que, desde el impulso creativo pueden incluso construir espacios, dar lugar a lo tridimensional en la propia naturaleza, como sucede con su proyecto escultórico para el parque Sócrates de Nueva York, del que podemos contemplar parte de una maqueta y revisar los estudios previos.

Lorenzo Sanjuan, en su primera exposición individual en Nueva York, en el centro de Brooklyn, nos ofrece una muestra de su mundo creativo, presidido por el mismo espíritu que domina estas páginas: el afán de la creatividad y la convicción profunda que la creación y el arte pueden cambiar el mundo.

Roulette Intermedium

(http://roulette.org)  Friday, September 2nd, 2016  Brooklyn | cool orgs | Cool spaces NYC | HOME-NYC | Must see |

Roulette’s mission is to support artists creating new and adventurous art in all disciplines by providing them with a venue and resources to realize their creative visions and to build an audience interested in the evolution of experimental art.

Roulette Intermedium was founded in 1978 at the height of the Downtown Experimental Arts revolution by three young composers: trombonist/composer Jim Staley, composer/producer David Weinstein, and Intermedia artist Dan Senn in 1978.

The informal concerts they presented in a small loft space in TriBeCa in Manhattan soon attracted an audience and critical attention. The first donation – an unsolicited and unexpected check for $1,000 – arrived in the mail from the Foundation for Contemporary Performance Arts, suggested by noted composer, John Cage. By the mid-1980s, Roulette had emerged as “a landmark for New York’s downtown new music composers.”

Over the next three decades, Roulette attracted a steadily growing audience and worldwide reputation as a center for musical innovation. Seminal pioneering figures who have presented their work at Roulette, oftentimes early in their careers, include Maryanne Amacher, Robert Ashley, Anthony Braxton, Simone Forti, Bill Frisell, Philip Glass, Yusef Lateef, Christian Marclay, Meredith Monk, Ikue Mori, Pauline Oliveros, Zeena Parkins, Arthur Russell, Kaija Saariaho, Wadada Leo Smith, Henry Threadgill, and John Zorn. Roulette continues to make a mark as a venue where scores of promising avant-garde artists make their first professional statements.

Representatives of the latest generation of composing artists who have recently developed and presented works at Roulette include Aaron Burnette, Maria Chavez, Phyllis Chen, Jennifer Choi, Mario Diaz de Leon, Mary Halvorson, Darius Jones, Mary Kouyoumdjian, Alfredo Marin, Tristan Perich, Matana Roberts, Tyshawn Sorey, Ben Stapp, C. Spencer Yeh and many more.

Our programming has expanded globally through Roulette’s online and television broadcast programs where audiences all over the world can explore the treasures of our archives. Roulette TV features senior figures of the avant-garde movement and their young successors.

Roulette is one of the few surviving organizations to maintain its identity as an Artists’ Space and its commitment to bring the experimental performing arts to a wider public; its history of performances (preserved in an archive that contains

nearly 3,000 hours of recordings and videos), leaves a detailed and distinguished record of almost four decades of artistic development, experimentation, and achievement.

Secret Project Robot aims to integrate and overlap all the arts into a fluid, artful, casual, friendly environment, to create a perpetual happening and a kind of house party that is run and supported by the people participating. Secret Project Robot seeks to build a strong artist, musician, and intellectual community as a tangible way to mitigate the feelings of alienation brought on by tyranny and a failing world order created by the neo-liberal capitalist system. Secret Project Robot desires to be a fully self sustaining artist run art space. Using sales from the Bar we are aiming to create a new way to run and communally fnance an art space and art.

Serendipia at Rabbit Hole

 HOME-NYC |

Up to what point can we continue to believe in happenstance, coincidence, Lautréamont’s “chance meeting…of a sewing machine and an umbrella,” or the accident in an art gallery? Under the glow of the April moon, in the cinematic shadow of the Manhattan Bridge, Alice’s Rabbit Hole opens, we descend into it, and serendipity is revealed: sensual princesses in watercolor nightmares, empty planets without their little princes, absences captured on film, sheets in disarray, reflections on depth and dimension depicted through the caress of a brush on the grain of wood. Four disparate artists come together under the bridge. Shall we accept, as Friedrich Schiller declared, that “there is no such thing as chance, and what seems to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny,” or shall we call it

Serendipity?

Hasta qué punto podemos creer en la coincidencia, el azar, en el encuentro fortuito en una mesa de disección, como quería Lautréamont, o en una galería de arte.

Debajo de la luz de la luna de abril, bajo las sombras de cine del puente de Manhattan se abre la madriguera del conejo de Alicia y se producen serendípicas coincidencias: sensuales y escondidas princesas en pesadillas de acuarela, planetas vacíos sin sus principitos, ausencias, cabellos y sábanas revueltas en la búsqueda del tú, reflexiones sobre la profundidad y las dimensiones desde la suave caricia del pincel sobre las vetas sencillas de la piel de la madera. Cuatro artistas, cuatro, en casual encuentro bajo el puente. ¿Mera casualidad? ¿Feliz serendipia? O, ¿como decía Friedrich Schiller, “lo que nos parece simple accidente emerge siempre de la fuente más profunda del destino”?

The Kitchen is one of New York City’s oldest nonprofit spaces, showing innovative work by emerging and established artists across disciplines. Our programs range from dance, music, performance, and theater, to video, film, and art, in addition to literary events, artists’ talks, and lecture series. Since its inception, The Kitchen has been a powerful force in shaping the cultural landscape of this country, and has helped launch the careers of many artists who have gone on to worldwide prominence.

History Founded as an artist collective in 1971 by Woody and Steina Vasulka and incorporated as a nonprofit two years later, The Kitchen has from its infancy been a space where experimental artists and composers share progressive ideas with likeminded colleagues. It was among the very first American institutions to embrace the emerging fields of video and performance, while presenting visionary new work in established disciplines such as dance, music, literature, and film. This unique combination generated an environment immediately conducive to groundbreaking and cross-disciplinary explorations, helping launch the careers of many artists who have defined the American avant-garde, including Vito Acconci, Laurie Anderson, Charles Atlas, Dara Birnbaum, Lucinda Childs, Bill T. Jones, Sherrie Levine, Robert Longo, Robert Mapplethorpe, Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, and Elizabeth Streb, among many others. Today, The Kitchen is an internationally-acclaimed institution giving support to—and seeking to foster a living dialogue among—artists from every field and area of culture in the effort to create an art for our time.

Aleya Lehmann Bench

About the artist Over the past several years Aleya Lehmann Bench’s creative practice has transitioned from painting to photography with her formal training as a painter informing her work in important ways. In her early experiments with photography she was shooting interiors primarily of 18thcentury country houses in England. Two years ago she embarked on a collaborative project with a model to explore figurative imagery and narrative, which involved long exposures and carefully choreographed motion. At first, the work was a series of “short stories” shot on film.

In late 2013, Lehmann Bench purchased a medium-format digital camera, which changed literally everything in her studio. Color and composition have come to the fore, and these newest images have become almost entirely abstract. Aleya Lehmann Bench is now in many ways, painting with her camera.

Background Aleya Lehmann Bench has lived and worked in New York City since 1983, after completing an MFA in Painting with Honors from American University in Washington, DC (1981-1983), and a BFA in Painting from Boston University (1975-1979). Her awards include three residencies at the MacDowell Colony, 1985, 1987 and 1992; a Penny McCall Grant in 1989; and an Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) fellowship at the Bronx Museum in 1992-1993.

The most important exhibitions she has participated in, as a painter, include: Wheel of Fortune, Lombard Freid Fine Arts, NYC, Curator Amy Lipton, group show, Dec. 6 – Jan. 6, 1996; In Three Dimensions: Women Sculptors of the ’90s; Part I: Issues of Gender, Snug Harbor Cultural Center, NYC, group show, Curator, Charlotte Streifer Rubinstein, July 9 – Sept. 17, 1995; For Appearance Sake, Horodner Romley Gallery, NYC, group show, Curator, Saul Ostrow, Sept. 9 – Oct. 1, 1994; Huma Bhaba, Aleya Saad, Randy Wray, Lauren Wittels Gallery, NYC, group show, Apr. 15 – May 8, 1994; Transient Decor, Roger Smith Hotel, NYC, group show, Curator, Saul Ostrow, May 12 – May 26, 1993; Songs of Retribution, Richard Anderson Gallery, NYC, group show, Curator, Nancy Spero, Jan. 15 – Feb. 11, 1993; and Brooklyn ’85, Brooklyn Museum, NYC, group show, Jan. 20 – Mar. 4, 1985, among others.

About 10 years ago, Lehmann Bench turned from painting to photography, initially working with medium- and large-format film cameras, producing black-and-white imagery; and during the past year, she has transitioned to a medium-format digital camera and to producing color imagery. Lehmann Bench has only very recently started to show her photographs.

Andres Alvarez

About the artist I was born in the Dominican Republic, moved to Puerto Rico with my family when I was in the 8th grade and flnally moved to new York about a year and a half after graduating from high school. Drawing has always been part of my life growing up and was my main focus as far as what to do for a living since I was out of high school, but somehow somewhere along the line, life started to happen and my focus got blurry. I took a turn and went for Graphic Design instead which I still do professionally for a living, but the artistic itch never went away. It wasn’t until around 2012 that I decided to get back on track with my original calling, dusted off an old sketch book, sharpened a couple of pencils, bought and easel (that I don’t use much but it makes me look very artistic) and just went for it. Im always trying to experiment and learn now things, flnd new artists to get motivated by, and just keep going and see where this path takes me, somewhere nice and warm I hope.

I have been drawing since I was kid. Not formally trained in the arts, I would say I’m self taught but nobody really is so lets just say I searched for my own answers and still searching some more, won’t be stopping any time soon.

Antonio Ortuño

About the artist I express myself through single-channel video, video installation, and video combined with art. These are empathetic tools that help me better reflect circumstances that are otherwise hard to assimilate or understand, sometimes due to our own ignorance about ourselves, given the little interest we have in introspection or, simply, due to the fear of knowing how we actually are in our most intimate beings.

In my case my work has always centred on video, video-instalations, photo, drawings, boxes and objects which for me reflect more easily those sensations or feelings which are difficult to assimilate or understand because of our own ignorance or lack of experience. My idea is to continue working on artistics projects with this philosophy in mind and make the public feel those rich, pure sensations and help them reflect on their own emotional situation. Love, but also fear, pleasure, anguish, happiness, anxiety and doubt, among other emotions, all make up part of my work. I hope in some way to de-dramatize the situations and eliminate their aggressive tone, so that the viewer doesn’t feel them directly, but rather reflects and understands their meaning, the reason for their existence.

Arlene Finger

About the artist My style is mainly Impressionistic. I have also been influenced by the English Symbolists and the Russian Avant-garde. My color palette varies from light to dark. The two dimensional works on paper use pastel, pencil, ink and charcoal to depict composition.

The composition mainly consists of still life to figurative. At this particular point I have been experimenting with architectural renderings.

Currently I am submitting work to several Brooklyn based organizations which I have included in my bio. I have also submitted a portfolio of my work to the Brooklyn Museum and the Feminist Retrospective.

I studied honors with Professor Philip Pearlstein at Brooklyn College. I am affiliated with the Brooklyn Museum and I took part in the sponsored GO Project in the year 2012. In 2012-13 I submitted work to VERGE as asked by Michael Workman. I am presently under contract in Florida for the year 2013-14 with Art Fusion Gallery. The contract allows me to exhibit with other galleries in the New York area. I am a member of Brooklyn Waterfront Arts Coalition since 2007 and at their most recent exhibit which took place in September 2013 NY1 and Channel 12 was there to view it. I am also a member of Westside Arts Coalition. Both these two organizations I exhibit on a regular basis.

My next show opens March 26th in Manhattan. I recently exhibited in AIR Gallery in the 25th Anniversary show, Generations IX. I have also been asked to exhibit at Agora Gallery just to name a few.

Baoyang Chen

About the artist Baoyang Chen (b. 1989) wants to look through the lens of the present at the past. Paradoxically, as the son of a distinguished traditional Chinese painter, he has a close afinity to the continuity of Chinese visual culture, although he is furthest removed from it in terms of his preferred media.

Setting foot in the U.S. in 2011 distanced him from the blanketing experience of Chinese culture, and gave him the opportunity to deal with his Chinese heritage with a more globally integrated mindset and in projects based upon abstraction and reconstruction. His diasporic experiences made China seem at quite a distance and seemingly unrelated to his immediate Western experience. He wants to think in terms of both cultures, it was his digital training that more immediately helped to pave the way to a more global perspective because, despite the differences in software and programming, there is a universalizing base to the digital flow.

He uses Chinese culture as an entry point, to propose the idea of universalizing in the digital domain between cultures, as well as to open Chinese culture to more global and contemporary interpretations. What he’s dealing with is not just the interpretation of images, but the gaps and mishaps he experiences as he tries to negotiate two cultures, competing definitions of identity, and multiple technologies; might best mediate between reinterpreting and relinquishing the conventional aspects of Chinese aesthetic experience.

Ultimately, I hope to instill in a new generation of artists, a maverick creativity, one that will build new wings in the evolving grand architecture of the Chinese psyche; –that are relevant to social issues in China today–fresh work that are free of the clichés characterizing contemporary Chinese art in the past. I seek ways to facilitate myself eschewing of provincial art thinking, while simultaneously culturally rich reconfigurations and novel view of Chinese culture’s exemplary craftsmanship and rich spirituality.

Brian Andrew Whiteley

About the artist Brian Andrew Whiteley is a Brooklyn based artist primarily focused on experiential creation, living and performing as his subjects, constructing work as each character, each extension inhabiting its own universe in which he operates. He immerses himself into these worlds to gain a broader understanding of how these characters operate, to help inform his practice. For example, his performances as the Greenwood Cemetery Clown and Bigfoot in Prospect Park have been well documented by the media (Daily Mail UK, Mirror UK, NY Daily News, Village Voice, NY Mag, Brooklyn Mag, Gothamist, etc.). He has created myths, imprinted folklore onto already historic locations, he then heads into the studio and creates subsequent works of varying mediums, all tied together under one umbrella.

Whiteley earned his MFA from the School of Visual Arts, NY, and his BFA from Ball State University, IN. Whiteley has previously exhibited at Interstate Projects, Brooklyn, InLiquid, Philadelphia, the Invisible Dog Art Center, Brooklyn, Stephan Stoyanov Gallery, NYC, CAA Media Lab, NYC Casa De Costa, Miami at Select Fair and the Spring/Break art show amongst others.

I am heavily invested in experiential art making, developing projects through trial and error, molding exhibitions over a period of time through external and internal exposure of ideas and processes. I’ve dressed like clowns, bigfoots, dominatrix’s. I’ve pissed a lot of people off. My exhibitions are multi sensory, including every nuance that I encounter as I create. I include video, sound, performance, sculpture, 2d and 3d works. I engage with my audience, I poke, I prod. I am not asking you to look, I am forcing you to pay attention.

About the artist I am passionate about prints drawings, collage and textiles Printing in general has always reflected the cutting edge of industrial and technological innovation and many processes have been left behind for more efficient and flexible methods. I have grown up to see most everything I ever learned about the trade and art form become obsolete in practice but not in basic premise. I love all aspects of printing both old and new and want to use this site as part of a personal effort to maintain the legacies and embrace new directions.

Chie Shimizu

About the artist My work is about the eternal question that arises throughout ones life: What is the significance of human existence?

Human life seems small and vulnerable against the immensity of nature, yet each life is unique and full of energy, such that I believe the short spans of our lives are comparable to what otherwise seems to loom so large.

Untitled No.14 (piece above) considers the infinity of space. One hand holds the lotus flower, which grows in a muddy pond and blossoms imposingly before promptly shedding its pedals. The other hand holds lotus seeds, which in appearance seem to resemble the everexpanding universe.

The subject of sculpture is always someone in general, rather than one in particular. It is my attempt to entice people to relate to the positions of those sculpted figures. The objects on the figures are reflections of ones life – metaphor and suggestion of what life might be about. Most of my works have been “untitled,” my intention being to speak directly to intrinsic senses while avoiding premeditated impressions.

My aspiration is to reach the innermost soul by finding messages in simple things that people see, feel and experience everyday – things that are essential, but easily forgotten.

Christina Massey

About the artist Christina Massey was born and raised in Northern California where she studied painting, printmaking and theater set design. Through various series of paintings and painting based installations she uses word play and theatrics to communicate opinions about general political topics that ultimately define observations about the Art world itself.

Massey’s work blurs boundaries between painting and sculpture, fiber and tactile arts. Using techniques such as weaving and hand stitching, and incorporating fibers such as collared shirts, khaki and denim pants, she then paints in layers of acrylic and oil paints. The works sometimes remains on traditional frames as wall hung work, and at others becomes whole installations created from multiple sculptural forms created from the painted canvases.

Her work has shown in multiple venues such as Dacia Gallery, Rush Arts Corridor Gallery, The Ormond Memorial Art Museum, Like the Spice Gallery, The Taller Boricua Galleries, Nurture Art, The MoCADA and The Contemporary Art Center in NJ.

Her work has been featured in multiple publications, including an interview on Brooklyn Independent Television, and in print in the New Art Review, ARTiculate Magazine 2014, Abstractions 2010, Skewed Online Magazine and Bestiary Magazine.

ARTIST STATEMENT: Throughout my art practice, I make works on paper, paintings, etchings, photography and ceramics that had often depicted the passage of time and its fugacity, the ephemeral of our lives. I take pictures of ordinary places and I use randomly found objects as the support to create works that question our identity in a specific period of time. As I evolved, I felt my work needed to be more tactile and direct. This has unfolded into a form of abstraction that is even more intimate. II am presenting ‘second chance series’, serigrafias, collages sobre papel a mano, donde podemos ver el libro fuera de su propio contexto. Esta serie es una invitacion a reflexionar sobre la suplantacion del formato ‘papel’ por el formato electronico Doy a esos libros encontrados una segunda oportunidad, una segunda vida.

Daniel Diosdado

About the artist Daniel was born in Madrid, Spain. Since he was a kid he knew that stage arts were his passion. As a little boy he already developed interest for theatre at school and with his friends which whom he used to write and performed their own plays during the early summers.

It was in 1999 when Daniel’s career took a leap forward when he was awarded with one of the bursaries of the European Broadcasting Union to develop his first professional script entitled Nacional IV (Highway IV).

Since then, Daniel worked directing and writing his own material. At first, he made short films, some of them won several awards like Lo siento, chicos, pero no puedo (Sorry, guys, I can’t do it) which received the best actor award at the San Pedro Alcantara Festival and ¿Dónde queréis vivir esta noche?(Where do you want to live tonight?) which won the best short film award at Festival de Cine Los Cielos. One of Daniel’s last short films, Con cara de gilipollas (Such an asshole face), has become a major hit with international film festivals selections

such as III Concurso de Cortos RNE (Spain), 20th Festival de Madrid-PNR (Madrid, Spain), Maipu Cortos (Argentina), La Claqueta (Entre Ríos, Argentina), 1st International Film Festival of Providencia (Santiago, Chile), Corta Corto (Barcelona, Spain) and SGAE en Corto (Spain).

But the real turning point for Daniel as a director was the Award of Excellence at the Indie Fest (La Joya, California, USA) for his experimental film SESIóN (SESSIoN). That final turning point made him start a company named Nomada Films. Their first production was El ataque de los Zumbas (The attack of the Zumbas), a great webseries success, and the challenging, risky and innovative short called 3’30″DK. Daniel taught screen writing at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and, in the last Cannes Film Festival 2012, he conducted an on-set workshop (http://danieldiosdado.com/?page_id=118) for actors with students of Creative Studios of Atlanta.

His last feature, La Reina de Tapas (Queen of the bar) premiered in 2013 Malaga’s International Film Festival and received a best picture nomination at Madrid’s Film Festival-PNR 2013.

Franc Bakon

About the artist Franc Bakon is a New York City based brand and conceptual experience. Each item is a refreshing one of a kind composition of politics, addictions, beliefs and every other perverse condition lurking within our human nature.

Franc Bakon started making patched denim jackets, jeans and sweat shirts for himself in 2005. It all made sense, on a mild fall night, when a friend was wearing the “Stevie Wonder” Bakon original. Everywhere they went people were instantly attracted to the jacket; the seed was planted and the vision became reality.

Bakon wants you to express your own unique qualities by offering one of a kind hand crafted goods. Just like your finger print no one is the same. The pieces are timeless and can be passed on to your love ones. There are many moods that make up one personality and Bakon is fulfilling them with a buffet for the senses.

Gabriel Castaño

About the artist “Chance and construction are the coordinates that contain the secret of art, and the fate of the artist lies in accepting this as contingency”.

Sartre “The question that scientists and philosophers arise is whether chance is a simple product of our ignorance or, on the contrary, is an inherent right of nature” Playing with the chance and an giving it an opportunity is something I have pursued for a while until today in the art world. As Nietzsche wrote, “We must keep up the chance” A mutable play that calls us into question, that does or undoes itself depending on how the beholder stares at it.

But what I have clear in advance, is that chance will be a defnite asset and assumed in the outcome of my work.

Gabriel Castaño, multidisplicinary artist who was born in Madrid (1978) and graduate in Fine Arts by Complutense University of Madrid. In addiction of his dedication for the painting and the drawing he has incorporated to his work, since few years ago, disciplines like the installation, video and performance. His plastic principe and start point of his artwork are concepts like the balance and chance. The art work of Gabriel Castaño shows the reality and the appearance of the construction of the image, he offered to the observer a play of mistakes and misunderstanding which it give to the observer the complexity of the reality.

Giovanni Savino

About the artist I first discovered photography through an old shoebox of yellowing pictures on my grandparents’ kitchen table in Italy. They were born into extreme poverty at the beginning of the 20th century in the malaria-ridden swamps of southern Tuscany.

Their pictures quickly became a portal for me to travel to a different era. They became a visual corroboration of the oral histories I heard over and over around a bowl of roasted chestnuts during the long winter evenings of my childhood.

My passion for photography is about documenting and preserving oral culture.

The main subjects of my personal work have been unsung heroes of everyday life: everyday people.

For many years I worked for CBS News, traveling around the world learning to tell visual stories. Now, based between New York City and the Caribbean, I continue to find stories worth documenting and people worth giving voice to.

The candycolored, saturated playground of images that I create is how I have imagined New York would look like since I was a child, having grown up with Old American television Programs from the 1950s and 60s in Japan. Despite the reality of the at times gritty city, my art work has allowed me to preserve my memories of my imagined America and explore the melting pot that is my new home.

Ira Joel Haber

About the artist The earliest piece of existing sculpture that I did dates from 1958. I was very young. The piece is made of white interlocking plastic building blocks that always play with. For me it was more than just play. The piece has some similarities to my present concerns. It looks like a building or a structure or a ruin. I glued the individual blocks together. Even at this early stage I was concerned with making a permanent work of art. I found this lost and forgotten piece in 1971 at the home of my parents in a box of old things of mine that my mother had kept for all those years. The piece was broken into four sections, but it was not dificult to repair because the parts fitted together like a puzzle. I remember doing this piece but its a vague memory.

In 1968 I started to fill small black sketchbooks with collages. I thought of them as intimate objects to be looked at by one person at a time.

I never ripped out pages. I did these books for about a year when I decided I had accomplished at that time what I wanted to do with collage. In early 1969 I wanted to expand my ideas of collage, to break through the paper and get to the other side. It was at this point that I started my work involving small scale sculpture, miniature environments and landscapes.

My training was in commercial art. I began working in the advertising field in 1966 upon completing a 2 year course at New York City Community College as it was then known. This training was outdated. In any event I had little trouble in finding jobs. However these jobs depended on skills that I really didn’t have, and my heart was not really in the ad game. I wanted to be an artist. At night I took drawing and illustration classes at The School Of Visual Arts, which made me want to be an artist more than ever. Finally in 1967 I stopped working in advertising and from that time on I have devoted my life to being an artist.

Growing up in New York gave me easy access to all the museums and at an early age I started to go to The Brooklyn Museum, The Museum Of Natural History, The MOMA and The Whitney. I was particularly attracted to the large dioramas at the natural history museum, not for the history they told ,but for how they told that history. I was fascinated by the artificial landscapes and how they were made. At the same time I was also seeing the great works of modern art. The one work that stands out as having an impact on me as a child was Ernst’s “Two Children Are Threatened By A Nightingale” which left a lasting impression on me because of Ernst’s use of strange perspective, bright almost acidy coloration and the three-dimensional miniaturization of a gate and house. Some other influences were amusement parks, notably Steeplechase Park, movies, Times Square and the artists Joseph Cornell and Louise Nevelson. Knowing their work from an early age was an education. Seeing what they (and others) had done with assemblage was inspiring and made me realize that although their accomplishments were magnificent, there was still room for an original new voice to be heard.

The first box I did was in 1969 and was made of cardboard which was completely covered with a photographic reproduction of a landscape.

Inside the box I placed a cardboard backed cut-out photograph of the artist Toulouse-Lautrec as a child surrounded by his family.

Unfortunately part of this box was destroyed. This box was not complicated enough for me and my feelings for the figure was not very strong. The first landscape boxes I did were also done in 1969 and were a series of “New York boxes”. They were small with diorama backgrounds of the city skyline in the 1900’s along with loose material usually gravel or sawdust dyed to represent earth. At the same time I started my pieces involving architecture both in boxes and pieces placed on the floor. My boxes from 1969-1971 usually had neutral landscape photographs as backgrounds. Using these backgrounds allowed me to confuse the perspectives of my landscapes and employ contradictory scale systems both in my boxes and floor pieces. It was also during this period that I actually burned many of the miniature buildings I was using. The interpretations and connotations of this element of my work was usually psychological and secondary to what I was actually doing. Simply put. I was altering, changing and manipulating my found materials as modern artists have done since Cubism.

The action was just as important to me as the outcome of the work and the reactions the work would invoke. I think nature has a tendency to reproduce itself in miniature. A twig, a small stone or a puddle of water when separated from its natural environment and isolated can resemble a tree, a boulder or a lake. I find it a little difficult to summarize in this short piece all my feelings and ideas about what I have been doing for the last 43 years.

I want my art to go through slow constant changes, but at the same time I want vast abrupt changes. Nature does the same. Since 1969 I have been making small scale sculptures and miniature environments that have been boxed, floored and walled. Within these small spaces a wide range of images have been constant & consistent. Houses, mountains, trees, bodies of water and land masses. My work over the years has changed, as I’m always experimenting with my language.

In 1970 I showed a piece of mine for the first time in the Whitney Sculpture Annual. Soon after I was asked to join the Fischbach Gallery where I showed from 1971-74. In 1978 I joined the Pam Adler Gallery where I had three shows the last one being in 1982. In the fall of 1991 I was invited to be a guest artist at the 55 Mercer St. Gallery which is a co-op gallery. The exhibition consisted of ten pieces from 1984-1990.

This was my last one person exhibition.

Through the years I have been helped by various organizations & foundations that have awarded me grants. Most notable has been the N.E.A. which awarded me grants in 1974, 1977 and 1983. I also received two grants from The Pollock Krasner Foundation in 1986 and 2001 and in 2004 I was awarded a grant from The Gottlieb Foundation.

Since 2006 I have been working on a series of small 7” x 7” x 3” boxes using landscape, nature and architectural elements. These themes have occupied my time and interest since 1969. These new boxes of which there are nine so far are small and densely packed and at the same time because of the size are sparse and minimal in their imagery. Also in 2011-2012 I did a series of 10 wall sculptures or plaques each one measures 6 .” x 6 .” with the overall size variable. They also contain themes and images incorporating elements of nature, landscape and architecture. The other major body of work that I have been doing since 2007 are a series of complex collages that measure and incorporate both 2D and 3D elements.

Jaynie Gillman Crimmins

About the artist My work explores issues of cultural engagement – societal conventions including beliefs, behaviors, values, goals. My practice encourages scrutiny of my participation in these conventions, examining and re-arranging what is frequently dismissed as trivial. Inspired by the handiwork and frugality of my grandmother, whose home decor was arranged around rugs she crocheted from strips of rags, I shred my junk mail, and then scrupulously sew the shreds together. The rags my grandmother used were once dresses, shirts, skirts and pants – each with its own history.

My household mail in the form of catalogs, letters, financial statements and solicitations arrives with it’s own narrative about why it is being mailed to me. Sewing the shreds to one another constructs discrete units. Using these as my medium I draw, paint and sculpt in space, allowing the materials to lead me. Individual elements become dense clusters reflecting the appearance and structure of marine ecosystems which provide hiding places and habitats for many organisms. My forms obscure and become home to information about how I am perceived by society while representing my personal participation in it. An inherited ethic invites inquiry into personal encounters with our culture.

Born in Brooklyn, NY, Jaynie Gillman Crimmins has lived in NY’s Hudson Valley and Atlanta, GA. She currently lives in NYC with a studio in Bushwick. She was an art educator for over 20 years.

She has shown her work in several Brooklyn area galleries including Art Helix, BRIC Contemporary and Sideshow Gallery as well as the Drawing Rooms in Jersey City.

Her work has been included in shows at the Zuckerman Museum of Art, the Alexandria Museum of Art, Oglethorpe University Museum of Art, Georgia Tech’s Ferst Center Art Gallery and the Marietta Cobb Museum. She is represented by Kibbee Gallery in Atlanta.

She is proud to be a volunteer with Arts in Bushwick’s High School Fellows Program where she provides art mentoring and workshops for High School students in the community.

Jeta B

About the artist Jeta B is a photographer, poet and a visual branding consultant. She is completely smitten by stories. Personal. Work. Fashion.

Inspirational. Humorous. She collaborates with entrepreneurs, artists, startups and nonprofits to give their visual branding a real kick – always using art as a tool.

Jeta transitioned into photography from a career in political branding and communications in Europe when moving to New York City in 2012. Born and raised in Kosovo, a true solid in her identity, she studied and worked in human rights, post-war institutional building and European social policy in Kosovo, Bulgaria and the UK. She witnessed the liquidity of people, characters, places, and languages. She believed her career choice was a solid. Then in 2009, she took up photography as a hobby. It completely liquified her career and became a solid in her life. Moving to New York, she decided to pursue her new passion and gradually her poetry scribblings found their way into her newfound love for photography.

Through her art, Jeta explores the constant state of change and how modernity liquifies aspects of identity that we mistake for solids. She has exhibited three times in New York (one solo) and three group exhibitions in the UK. Jeta writes in English and Albanian but also speaks Serbian and Spanish.

Jorge Alcalde

About the artist Jorge Alcalde es un productor afincado en Madrid; versalit y paciente es un enamorado de los procesos analógicos. Vinilo y sintetizadores son la clave de su trabajo. Como músico y dj su seudónimo es “Angel Santos” con el que ha trabajado para Jaxx Records, con quien ha editado diverso material en dos de sus subsellos, Alenda Records y Nika Vare. Sus sesiones pueden ir desde el electro más fino hasta el Techno Detroit más puro, pero siempre tejiendo las mezclas de una manera tan sutil y elegante que va arrastrando al baile a quien le oye, para hacerle terminar hipnotizado y con los brazos en alto, como si fuese un sufí en estado de trance y comunión.

Tras veinte años de carrera este DJ/productor sigue manteniendo el mismo entusiasmo y motivación del primer día. El techno de Detroit es un estilo totalmente ligado a sus agujas, adentrándose en los caminos más profundos de la electrónica, Ángel Santos juega con los sonidos house americanos, combinándolos magistralmente con sonidos alemanes.

Sus habilidades como creador visual se pueden contemplar en sus trabajos en formato video en el estudio creativo Mainout, toda una referencia en España del Downhill. Pero su verdadera pasión, sound design, esta madurando con pasión innata.

Judith Samper Albero

About the artist I am a multidisciplinary artist—using different techniques and media to express myself. Drawing provides a conduit to express my most immediate feelings while photography allows me to capture a moment’s beauty in an instant. Video art helps me convey deeper and more intricate thoughts and feelings. When I take a photograph, I see a glimmer of its fullest potential in the binary ones and zeroes of that digital file as though it were a diamond amidst charcoal, waiting for me to uncover it. I can sense the potential of the moment, the composition and even the coloring—but it isn’t until I get my hands dirty crafting the image with different software that I reveal the glowing magic enclosed within.

Recently, I’ve been fascinated with 360º photography. I love being able to capture the complete spirit of a moment—an instant that can be explored as though we were there. Through these photos I began to create what I call little planets: a spherical adaptation that results in enchanting and unusual landscapes. The technique I use involves multiple cameras, an augmented tripod, and various software treatments— all to mold the original image into a 360º sphere. Every little planet is a fantastic landscape hidden in reality.

I am excited to push this passion for 360º/panoramic photos to the next level by incorporating interactivity. I would like to experiment with bringing an empty room to life with virtual 360º landscapes users can view through their mobile devices after scanning one (in a series of) QR codes. On the surface, users enter a bare room, but through the screens of their phones they can be transported into entirely unique landscapes.

Kathleen Migliore-Newton

About the artist My canvases are peopled with characters whose lives I try to imagine. I use photographs that I take of people on the street, the subways and in museums, which I use as source material. I try to imagine their lives. One project portrays the people looking at art in museums, contrasting the viewers or relating their sympathy with the work. And showing a connection to the history of flgurative art. Lately I have also explored painting portraits of friends or strangers, keeping in mind appearance and character and how they interact.

I have become more and more exhilarated by the process of painting on a two dimensional format. Though I paint recognizable imagery, I don’t always use local color and make aesthetic decisions in the immediate experience of paint on canvas.

I believe strongly that subject matter in art is the force that drives style, My canvases are peopled with characters, both real and of my own invention. The paintings are juxtaposed like collage, or have a more realistic space. There is an implied libretto. They often have a layer of private meaning, and provide an invitation to the viewer’s imagination.

The subjects should be seen in the larger context of dislocation and cultural hybridization. Living in New York City, I am a witness to the arrival of immigrants, and the human panorama of people of diverse cultures going about their daily lives. I have tried to dream their lives.

The collision and the intermingling of these millions of foreign-born people representing so many races and creeds, make New York a permanent exhibit of the phenomenon of one world. The citizens of New York are tolerant not only from disposition, but from necessity.

Here is New York, E.B. White.

Kika Espejo

About the artist Kika Espejo’s work examines the role that psychological constructs play in her personal experience as an art maker and art consumer. Thought the exploration of the believes and desires that shape her perception of art, Espejo tries to unravel the mental structures and limitations that condition her life experience. Using elements of process and performance art in intersection with mediums such as drawing, photography, and video, Espejo focuses on the symbolic meaning read and deposited in contained images, bringing reflection on the conflicted and complex nature of these actions.

Her work has been exhibited at art spaces such as Centro de Historia (Zaragoza, Spain), DMY Festival (Berlin, Germany), and Anthology Film Archives (New York, USA). She also collaborated with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum “stillspotting NYC” project in 2011.

Kristin Holcomb

About the artist “It is hard to follow one great vision in this world of darkness and of many changing shadows. Among those shadows men get lost.” – Black Elk Speaks Kristin Holcomb’s work uses photographic images to explore perception, emotion, and mystery. Employing what she refers to as a “visual haiku” she looks at the ephemeral quality of beauty in the urban landscape, exploring the place where the natural and built environment collide. By looking at physical decay Holcomb explores the instability of our environment but hints at the possibility of renewal or transformation. She searches the unnoticed to locate a transformative moment when we can flnd the silence and mystery that is losing its importance in our lives.

Holcomb has shown her work nationally and internationally. She teaches at the International Center of Photography.

About the artist I have been photographing in New York City for a long time and am continually fascinated by its endless supply of amazing and interesting subjects. At its best my work does them justice.

Larry Silver

About the artist I have been living and working in downtown Manhattan since 1976. My work has been shown in group and one person exhibitions in national and international venues. Some include: Lesley Heller Gallery, NYC; Laura Henry Gallery, Santa Monica, CA; Rose Burlingham, NYC; Basel Art Fair, Switzerland; Parrish Art Musuem, Southhampton, NY; PS122 NYC; Barbican Art Center, London; Curt Marcus Gallery, NYC;

PPOW Gallery, NYC; Lannon Gallery, NYC; Indianapolis Museum of the Arts, IN, Centro Mascarella, Bologna, Italy. Paintings and drawings are also held in several private and public collections.

My work is composed of oil paint mixtures, graphite and pastel which interlock on the clay surface of the paintings’ panels. The face of each painting is a delicate skin that is partially stripped away to expose references to diagrammatic notations, molecular bundles, Venetian walls; a collection of time worn graffi ti. This grouping of translucent applications of marks, drips, pourings and sandings suggest the sensation of the moment right before action. The simultaneity of appearance and dissolve is an ode to the fusion of time and memory.

Laura Alvarez

About the artist I was born in Valencia, Spain.

I finished the Fine Arts Degree in 2001 at the Universitat Politecnica of Valencia, Spain. After spending a semester on an Erasmus exchange in KIAD, UK, went back and started a Doctorate in Graphic Design.

I worked in different companies as a creative, graphic designer, theater set designer, and Director of Communications and Public Relations.

On January 2009 I moved to New York. Started working as a graphic designer and slowly moved into the educational aspect of my career, teaching with different organizations such as the New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx Council of the Arts, YUCA Arts or SoBRO.

I was granted the SPARC Residency in 2013 (Seniors Partnering with Artists Citywide) to work in a senior center in the Bronx, as part of a program from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Also I got a grant from Citizens Committee of New York City to have an Educational Summer Art Program with Friends of Soundview Park.

I was guerdoned with The Golden Trowel Award 2013 by Partnership for Parks, recognizing my commitment to enacting change in neighborhood parks through superb community activism with Friends of Soundview Park.

I have exhibited numerous times here in USA and in Europe. I work as a freelance illustrator, graphic designer and educator while working full time as a resident artist for the New York Department of Parks and Recreation at the Poe Park Visitor Center Gallery in the Bronx.

Recently I attended the New York Foundation of the Arts’ Artepreneur Boot Camp program, in collaboration with Spain culture NYC and SPAINRED. I am part of the selected artists participating in the MASS MoCA Assets 4 Artists Matching Funds program 2014-15.

I’m an illustrator, designer, visual artist, community activist and educator. As a child, I was happy with paints and a surface to utilize them, just like I am now. I make art because it’s all I think of every minute of my life. I like to combine and swap techniques, depending on the nature of the idea I want to transmit.

My work usually starts with a situation, a word, a place I’ve visited, stories I’ve read or imagined, or even a memory. I create parallel, imaginary worlds and fantastic beings ‑ monsters that seem sweet but if given a second look might surprise you. They definitely have something behind them, a story. It’s a sweet and sour look into everyday things.

I’m obsessed with calligraphy and making words a tangible image in the eye of the viewer. I see words as a thesis to an emotion or idea and it is a necessity for me to transmit that message.

Laura Dayan

About the artist Formada a principios del 2013 en torno a los talentos de la cantante y compositora Laura Dayan y el productor Darko Saric, DAYAN mezcla elementos del Folklore latinoamericano con poderosas percusiones y elegantes sonidos electrónicos.

Ella es el corazón. Él es el cerebro. Laura y Darko comparten una visión y se complementan entre sí para ir sin miedo hacia ella. Ambos residentes en Nueva York, se conocieron y pronto se dieron cuenta de que compartían las mismas ganas de redefinir musicalmente sus raíces latinoamericanas a través del nuevo punto de vista que les aporta su actual entorno cultural.

DAYAN nació con la idea de crear algo nuevo a partir de su origen autóctono, intentar traer sus casas un poquito más cerca y ser fieles a sus propios gustos musicales. Saben lo que quieren y proclaman sin vergüenza sus altas aspiraciones de encontrar un sonido propio que los represente fuera de su tierra y una mezcla atrevida que los identifique como latinoamericanos en el mundo.

Su primer trabajo, su E.P. homónimo “DAYAN”, combina potente percusión y elementos del Folklore latinoamericano con una mezcla de pop ecléctico de base electrónica y atractivas letras en porteño.

Laura Dayan fue una de las voces principales de la banda argentina InclanFunk durante casi 8 años. La banda grabó cuatro álbumes, realizó giras internacionales, tocó en los mejores festivales de música tales como el “Pepsi Music Festival” y el “Festival Summar” y ganó el prestigioso primer premio del “Easter Rock Festival” en el famoso “The Cavern Club Liverpool”, Inglaterra. También presentó su música en los escenarios más importantes de Buenos Aires como “La Trastienda Teatro” y “Niceto Club”.

En el 2008, Laura comenzó su carrera solista compartiendo su música en Argentina, Uruguay, Panamá, España, Francia y Londres. Durante más de tres años, actuó como artista residente en los escenarios más exclusivos de Buenos Aires: Faena Hotel, Asia de Cuba y El Clan.

Después de mudarse a Nueva York en 2009, y tras presentar su primer trabajo como solista N.E.N.A, comenzó a escribir su obra más sincera en una búsqueda personal dentro de su carrera artística. Durante toda esta experiencia, Laura tuvo la oportunidad de compartir escenario con conocidos artistas internacionales que nutrieron su talento y ambición y le ayudaron a averiguar lo qué quería decir y cómo decirlo.

Darko Saric es compositor y productor licenciado en Composición Musical en el Conservatorio Nacional de Lima, Perú, donde también estudió Diseño de Sonido y Música para Cine y TV. Comenzó su carrera en Lima trabajando con las mejores bandas de Perú y algunos reconocidos musicos solistas. Compuso música para películas independientes, empresas y para publicidad. Ahora que reside en la ciudad de Nueva York, está componiendo música para ABC y NBC. Su música ha sido licenciada para cantidad de promociones y programas en AMC, TLC, Descubrimiento, Bravo, y otros canales de la red.

Leah Oates

About the artist Oates has BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a Fulbright Fellow for study at Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland. Oates has shown in NYC at Pierogi Gallery, Nurture Art, Momenta Art, Associated Gallery, Susan Eley Fine Art, The Central Park Arsenal Gallery and The Center for Book Arts. Oates works on paper are in many public collections including the Harvard University Libraries, The Brooklyn Museum Artists’ Book Collection, The Walker Art Center Libraries, The Smithsonian Libraries and the Franklin Furnace Archive at MoMA, NYC. The Transitory Space series deals with urban and natural locations that are transforming due to the passage of time, altered natural conditions and a continual human imprint. In everyone and in everything there are daily changes and this series articulates fluctuation in the photographic image and captures movement through time and space.

Transitory spaces have a messy human energy that is perpetually in the present yet continually altering. They are endlessly interesting, alive places where there is a great deal of beauty and fragility. They are temporary monuments to the ephemeral nature of existence.

Lorenzo Sanjuan

About the artist I was born in Huesca in 1971. At the age of 17, I moved to Catalonia to study fine arts. In my beloved Barcelona, my new life was filled with the excitement, education, exploration, and work. Evenings I worked as a draftsman and ‘3d Modeler’ for architects. Next, I worked for six years designing booths for consumer shows and conventions. This experience sharpened my personal artistic vision while it solidified my knowledge of different materials and techniques, forging my passion for installation of temporary structures. In addition to a wide variety of projects as a graphic designer, I worked for 6 years as a pre-press supervisor in Manhattan. Since then I have worked exclusively as a graphic designer, currently with a premiere, New York engineering firm. In 2008, my family and I moved to Japan. Japan is full of contrasts between tradition and modernity, that live in total harmony. We were there for almost four years. Now we are back in Brooklyn.

Paintings, sculptures, furniture, a variety of things… and I spend time developing artistic concepts and preparing proposals. All this thought and work accumulates, and is a key part of my career as a creative person. With these, without a doubt, I grow. BUT above all… I paint. With brush …With light… With words… With a computer. I do not know why, but when I am on it… In the moment… I can express thoughts and emotions best visually.

Marivi Peralta

About the artist Creating art is like an open door . Once you walk through it¨ a journey begins” .

My artwork encourages and challenges me to search for what lies beyond what we can see . It creates a bridge that connects the boundaries between art¨ spiritual awareness and imagination .

I work in different mediums because they offer a wider range of possibilities to express ideas and some specific ideas may be better suited to one specific medium . I often feel that the ideas are what dictate the mediums to be used . They all complement each other¨ so I believe it’s good not to be intimidated by the fact that it may be unknown territory and to enjoy the exploration and possibilities each medium offers .

I try to combine disparate elements while also discovering new imaginary spaces that reference an archetypal entrance into the subconscious . My artworks do not try to tell the viewer what to see¨ instead they are meant to become a personalized dreamscape for the viewer¨ an enveloping labyrinth to enter and travel through¨ wherein the viewer experiences his or her own recollections and thoughts through association and memory .

As an artist I’m driven to explore and illuminate these places . Through my imagination and intuition¨ I think of making art as both a window and a portal . I explore as I create and I embark on a journey with the painting while it is being created . I attempt to speak of my personal experience as well as that of others¨ so that when the viewer enters a painting he or she understands and finds it familiar .

Marta Zapardiel

About the artist Marta is an art lover. Her studies and background allowed her to work in many different fields after moving to New York in 2010: events management, film production, writing, design and, above all, curatorship and photography.

Furthermore, she is an innate communicator and a problem solver obsessed with the origin of creativity, the effect of it in the audience and the imagery that it creates. Her photographic work studies this matter from the artist’s and the audience’s point of view.

Also, regarding this subject, she curated one of her most ambitious projects: RENDER. A performance format that wants to create a dialogue about creativity and art among different artists and disciplines in several cities around the world in the most experiential and unexpected way.

Maura Falfan

About the artisttttt Maura Falfan is an artist who has developed a body of work around the idea of the vestige as a sign referring to an absence. Understood as a mark, imprint or gesture, the vestige has taken the place of a scar, an absence, and more recently: the presence of the nonexistent.

Through the use of the stain as an empty signifler, Maura has developed a body of work that can be characterized -in formal terms- as being either abstract or directly factual. Interested in the possibility of transformation and personal catharsis, she has welcomed an ominous quality in her work and promoted a sense of mystery through the use of an enclosed symbolism and a particular atmosphere.

Born and raised in Mexico City, Maura has also focused on the tragic aspect of our existence and reflected on the fragility of painting. She is currently working on large, vertical sheets of paper that are reminiscent of oriental scrolls, trying to visually embody the ineffable.

Maura currently lives and works in New York City.

Mónica Robles Rey

About the artist The art of dressing has always been my greatest passion, and fashion design the ideal way to express my sense of beauty. I started developing my skills as a designer at a very young age at the guidance of my mother, a self-taught couturier. Working together as a team for years, she would help realize my designs and ideas, bringing them to life. I have always been inspired and driven by a search for innovation; to create timeless, unique colorful clothing made with a disregard for fleeting trends.

While studying law, I realized that designing was taking precedence over my studies, and that designing fashion was my true vocation.

Consequently, as soon as I graduated, I moved to Madrid and exchanged my law books for an exciting and thrilling career in fashion. I enrolled at IADE, a well-known art school, where I studied Fashion Design for 3 years. During those years, I not only acquired the tools and skills needed to express my ideas, but also immersed myself in a completely new, fresh, and creative art and fashion scene. I took full advantage of my new reality and became actively involved in the fashion world inside and outside of the walls of the classroom.

In Madrid, the fashion capital of Spain, I found great inspiration everywhere; from the energy of the city and its people, to the seemingly limitless art and fashion exhibitions I attended. I was highly motivated to challenge myself and participated in several designing contests including Injuve, Gillette, and Brugal. I also took part in Fashion fairs such as Nomades and FEM, continuously experimenting with new silhouettes and fabrics. In addition to my studies, I worked as a theatrical costume designer and stylist for Television commercials. I also interned at Rosa Carboné, an haute couture studio, where I worked as a pattern maker assistant.

During my second year at school, I established Seddemal, my own label. Seddemal is the materialization of my vision as a fashion designer.

Its core mission calls for a return to the idea of the “buen vestir.” Seddemal seeks to conceptually elevate fashion into a timeless arena, transcending modernity. This way, creations cannot die the instant that they are born. Seddemal employs high quality fabrics, rich in texture, a decontextualization of ideas, and sensitivity to color. Seddemal is about elegant boldness, where beauty and personality are solely expressed. Initially, the label was a variety of unique pieces made for fairs, boutiques, and custom orders. Eventually, I launched my flrst collection for the fall/winter season in 2006. The collection was chosen to participate in SIMM and Ego Cibeles trade shows.

In September 2006, I joined the Godoy family project, and worked for them as full time lead designer for three years for his labels Dsa2 and Koko Jeans. Godoy wanted to move from a private label collection to their own collection, and I was in charge of creating the new collection, coordinating production, and researching suppliers in the Asian markets. I re-established the brand by improving its quality, marketing and image.

At the end of 2009, I moved to New York to study English and broaden my career possibilities. I completed an ESL program at Hunter College, and continued my education in fashion with some courses at FIT. During this time, I have been ravenously absorbing new ideas and internalizing the new perspective while still collaborating with Spanish companies. I have also interned as a fashion designer assistant at Houghton and Mandy Coon, and I often collaborate as fashion stylist with photographers such as Anna Morgowicz, utilizing my own designs as subjects. Right now, I am working as a costume designer in a project with the photographer Eric Murray about the homeless situation in New York.

Moon Young Ho

About the artist Moon Young HA has spent the past years working to redefine the new music scene in New York. As the founder and director of ensemble mise-en, Moon curates and conducts some of the most unexpected, perplexing, and widely noticed concerts of contemporary classical music in the city today. As a composer, Moon’s works are heard worldwide, commissioned by major ensembles and chamber orchestras, and featured prominently in experimental collaborations with the musicians of New York-based ensemble mise-en.

As artistic director of ensemble mise-en, Moon has debuted works by composers of international repute alongside those lesser known or under-played.

During the past season, US and New York premiers have included woks by Bent Sørensen, Younghi Pagh-Paan, Isang Yun, Hans Abrahamsen, Kaija Saariaho and Wolfram Schurig; a concert-length collaboration with composer Wolfgang Mitterer on the debut of his piece “REMIX_2#” at Le Poission Rouge, and debuts of over two-dozen pieces by composers from the U.S. and abroad.

Moon’s compositional output is as eclectic as the concerts he curates. Much of his work combines acoustic instruments with electronics, video, and choreography, reflecting sundry influences from western, non-western, jazz, and pop idioms. The New York Times called his music “a wayward litany of pops, shivers and shrieks, by turns agitated and enervated”. But his work also emphasizes organic development, narrative structure, and close research into spectral combinations, creating audible story lines that delight the senses and spur the imagination. In the past years, Moon’s works have been premiered by groups such as the International Contemporary Ensemble, Alarm Will Sound, Empyrean Ensemble, Chatham Baroque, Momenta Quartet and others. Moon has recently done residencies at I-Park, Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, Omi International Arts Center, and was guest composer at the Intimacy of Creativity Project at Hong Kong University of Science & Technology.

Originally from Seoul, South Korea, Moon lives and works in New York City. He received degrees (B.M., M.M.) from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and is currently pursuing his Ph.D. at New York University, where he teaches music theory and composition.

Nacho Arimany

About the artist Before moving to New York in 2009, Nacho Arimany was chiefly known as one of Spain’s most sought after Flamenco percussionists. He entered the world of Flamenco through the Spanish Dance and Flamenco Choreography Contest of Madrid, winning a prize for “Pa´dentro,” a martinete composed for Triazion danza. When asked to form a percussion group, he introduced to Flamenco the use of a gourd from Mali as a percussion instrument. Academies, tablaos and baile were his school for eight years and he collaborated with Joaquín Cortés, Gerardo Nuñez and Rocio Molina, along with many of Spain’s hottest Flamenco dancers and artists. As a child, age 6, had been classically trained as a pianist, and later on he performed as vocal soloist with soprano diva Montserat Caballé and the Spanish National Orchestra at the opening act of the Spain National Auditorium with the World Premiere of “La Atlántida” by Manuel de Falla. He turned to percussion in his teens and Flamenco was a break with the formalism of his early training.

Arimany’s unique style and diverse capabilities ultimately steered him into the broader scopes of World music and Jazz, where he has performed and recorded with Lionel Loueke, Lizz Wright and Angelique Kidjo. His first independent project, the Nacho Arimany WorldFlamenco Septet, integrated this wide range of musical experiences. Reviewing his album, “Silence-light” (Fresh Sound Records, 2007) recorded with his septet, La Abeille Musique(France) compared Arimany’s advanced exploration of the Flamenco universe to the jazz explorations of acclaimed guitarist Lionel Loueke, writing, “Percussionist, musician and nearly a musical philosopher inasmuch as his ideas are dense and open to the world, Nacho Arimany is without a shadow of a doubt a separate case on the sometimes compartmentalized flamenco scene….The result is an album which somewhat redefines for the 21st century a type of music, flamenco, already crossed by multiple musical experiences. Unique and indispensable.”

In Fall 2008, Nacho Arimany was commissioned to compose and conduct a new work for Global Perfussion, a gathering of 15 percussionists from around the world. The group reconvened in November 2009 touring in Bamako, Mali and the Canary Islands. He settled in New York in 2009 and the next year, appeared at City Center’s Fall for Dance Festival in the U.S. premiere of “Rooted on Earth,” his acclaimed duet with Flamenco dancer Rafaela Carrasco. Months later in 2010 was his BAM Café debut with his Nacho Arimany Trio along with pianist Robert Rodriguez and bassist Michael O’Brien beginning a very powerful and fruitful collaboration. During the fall of 2012 he presented in residence at La Mama experimental Theater in NYC his latest creation “Landscapes of The Soul” a World-Jazz Multimedia concert along with his Trio and awarded film maker/video artist Laia Cabrera.

The style of his work is so new and original that it has resisted accurate labeling up to now. While it is close to Jazz and Flamenco, it is an experience of world and natural sounds with influences of oriental melodies and Indian and West African percussion. Notwithstanding this confluence of influences, Flamenco rhythms are always prominent in Arimany Music, which he describes as “a prism with a lot of faces.”

Depending on the light, one of the faces is reflected and shining. He has a Flamenco heart, but it depends on the day whether that shows.

Arimany’s musical innovations have forked into another avenue where they are being applied to sound therapy and transformational processes . On this field his contribution is remarkable as he has entirely composed, performed and produced the music of inTime a 9CD rhythm-based music listening therapeutic method created to improve brain function, developed in collaboration with Sheila Allen and Advanced Brain Technologies. The official debut of inTime was held in February 9th 2014 at Rockefeller’s University , Caspary Hall with a panel discussion with neuroscientists and therapists, and a solo concert by Nacho Arimany.

Nancy Jones

About the artist Dr. Nancy Jones is a visual philosopher and multimedia artist rendering energy in image form and how our relationship with the image penetrates us with persuasive visual codes. Her pioneering work establishing this new field motivates reflection as liberation from conditioning. Her multimedia production embodies visual energy processes within recontextualized images from consumer culture, thereby establishing commentary on the power of looking and reflection to influence popular opinion. Her iconic personal signature is charged with ambiguity; the sheer subtlety with which her bold painterly vision is executed through her philosophy mitigates a new form of interactive gaze that is neither male, nor female, but rather a leap into a new modernist impulse. Her paintings reveal layers of identities and relationships shifting form to individualize viewer interaction within a larger social context. Ms. Jones received an MFA in Painting at the San Francisco Art Institute and a PhD in Media Philosophy from the European Graduate School. Her dissertation The Image is Crisis was published in 2014.

My paintings depict feminine portrayals with cultural expectations, identity and gender constructs. I pull from the world of advertising, the internet, and the technology industries to produce narratives creating my unique content with found material The women in my work create a different kind of viewing experience that intensifies the importance of the gaze found throughout my work. These style combinations and codes reference rituals and ideals. The relationship between images and how they penetrate us with persuasive visual codes in a range of constructs, prescribe normative behaviors and form our ideas of identity. Distilling the imagery down to stylistic forms, results in dialects of visual language.

The relationship between this language and the specific topic of Change and Continuity through the Image is there is a coded language of reality and it’s different styles and versions, whether accurate or distorted, these depictions are always transient in their ability to capture the moment where identity or definition lines up. Through this movement there is continuity as well as an innately changing nature of the codes and renditions. This investigation into the relationship between images and how their energy penetrates us is intended to motivate reflection on general visual codes and their processes to further a freedom toward reality.

Natsuki Tamura

About the artist Japanese trumpeter and composer NATSUKI TAMURA is internationally recognized for his ability to blend a unique vocabulary of extended techniques with touching jazz lyricism. This unpredictable virtuoso “has some of the stark, melancholy lyricism of Miles, the bristling rage of late 60s Freddie Hubbard and a dollop of the extended techniques,” according to Mark Keresman of JazzReview.com. Tamura’s seamlessly limitless creativity led Fran輟is Couture in All Music Guide to declare that “… we can offl cially say there are two Natsuki Tamuras: The one playing angular jazz-rock or ferocious free improv… and the one writing simple melodies of stunning beauty… How the two of them live in the same body and breathe through the same trumpet might remain a mystery…”

Since 2005, Tamura has focused on the intersection of European folk music and sound abstraction with Gato Libre, a quartet featuring Satoko Fujii on accordion, Tsumura Kazuhiko on guitar, and Koreyasu Norikatsu on bass. The quartet’s poetic, quietly surreal performances have been praised for their “surprisingly soft and lyrical beauty that at times borders on flat-out impressionism,” by Rick Anderson in CD Hotlist for Libraries. Dan McClenaghan in All About Jazz described their fourth CD, Shiro, as “intimate, something true to the simple beauty of the folk tradition. … Tamura’s career has largely been about dissolving musical boundaries. With Gato Libre and Shiro, the trumpeter extends his reach even deeper into the prettiest, most accessible of his endeavors.”

Earlier bands led by the constantly exploring trumpeter have been very different in character. Peter Marsh of the BBC had this to say of the 2003 Natsuki Tamura Quartet release Hada Hada: “Imagine Don Cherry woke up one morning, found he’d joined an avant goth-rock band and was booked to score an Italian horror movie. It might be an unlikely scenario, but it goes some way to describing this magnificent sprawl of a record.” The collaborative trio, Junk Box, which he co-founded in 2006 along with pianist Fujii and drummer John Hollenbeck, plays Fujii’s “composed improvisations,” graphic scores that take “ensemble dynamics to great creative heights,” says Kevin Le Gendre in Jazzwise. Their music “is full of bluster and agitation that nonetheless retains moments of great melodic beauty, usually by way of concise, pertly pretty motifs that trumpeter Tamura plays in between bursts of withering roars that often dissolve into austere overtones.” Cut the

Rope, the debut release by his most recent quartet, First Meeting, featuring Fujii, drummer Tatsuhisa Yamamoto and electric guitarist Kelly Churko, “is a noisy, free, impatient album, and ranks among Fujii and Tamura’s most accomplished,” according to Steve Greenlee of the Boston Globe.

Since 1997, his ongoing duet with pianist (and wife) Satoko Fujii has recorded four CDs and won accolades from critics and audiences alike.

“The wife-husband team from Japan was simply brilliant,” says Steve Feeney of the Portland Press Herald. “Though their work has a fair amount of compositional structure, it consistently reveals a wide-open and unpredictable nature that makes its performance a thrilling ride for the listener.” In addition to their intimate duo performances, Tamura collaborates on many of Fujii’s own projects, including her current ma-do quartet, and big bands in New York, Tokyo, Nagoya and Kobe.

Born on July 26, 1951 in Otsu, Shiga, Japan, Tamura first picked up the trumpet while performing in his junior high brass band. He studied at Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory of Music and has taught at the Yamaha Popular Music School and at private trumpet studios in Tokyo and Saitama. He is also a regular member of saxophonist-composer Larry Ochs’ Sax and Drumming Core, and performs as an unaccompanied soloist as well.

“As unconventional as he may be, Natsuki Tamura is unquestionably one of the most adventurous trumpet players on the scene today,” notes Marc Chenard in Coda magazine. He “is very much part of a long lineage of free-spirited trumpeters, encompassing the likes of Freddie Keppard, Bubber Miley and Rex Stewart, and more contemporary stylists such as Don Cherry, Lester Bowie, Bill Dixon and Leo Smith.”

Nicolás Sánchez

About the artist La voz de Nicolás Sánchez aka Jesús Benito teje nuevos mantones que se ponen encima los poemas, y los hace suyos. Su voz y los mensajes secretos de ritmos y melodías que se esconden entre cajones, frascos, manuscritos, llaveros, cristales y batir de alas de palomas en el palomar. Murmullos musicales que arropan las palabras y se enroscan como lombrices en los oídos descansados del espectador.

Nicolás recita, canta, construye atmósferas, interroga y dialoga con los autores, y sobre todo, lanza al aire infinito el aroma de caldo caliente de poesía cocinada y preparada al dente. Su voz a veces melancólica, juguetona, su voz de pintor clásico o de inventor de nuevas sensaciones sonoras compone en el aire un nuevo pentagrama.

Nieves Saah

About the artist Nieves Saah arrived in the U.S. from her native Spain in 1972. She grew up in the Basque region. Since her arrival, she has developed and expressive style of painting that depicts a world of fantasy. Her paint and palette are a thinking process revealing itself as the paint touches the canvas. Soft shapes and figures seem to dance amid contrasting colors – vibrant reds, blues and yellows. They beckon and pull the viewer into them. The forms they resemble are not representational – they come from the imagination.

Her paintings are complex, intricately composed, and patterned. She works almost exclusively with palette knives and spatulas, and handles them deftly. She uses technique but always to paint what she wants with it. Sometimes the figures and images are created by stacking colors against the edges of other colors; sometimes by scraping away, eviscerating whole areas, sometimes by sliding the paint around.

“I think the viewers look into my paintings as I do. I can look at them every day and see new things, rediscover new elements. I try to give each of my paintings a life. To just paint, to get figures from the paint itself.”

Pablo Cubarle

About the artist My belief in life is that if you can’t get the things you want, build them yourself.

I always enjoyed the challenge of making something out of nothing and I take pride in teaching myself a new skill.It all started when I made a pinball machine out of wood at the age of 12. In 2010, I created a 25-minute music film that brought a new type of narrative to this media form. -When You Need Them- was made on a shoe-string budget and not only it was offlcially selected in a good amount of film festivals, but also won -Nominated Best Narrative Short (Toronto International Film and Video Awards), – Golden Ace Award (Las Vegas Film Festival), – Winner Award of Merit (Best Shorts). Most recently, I got a patent on a new idea for a media-music distribution system… stay tuned for more.

This same curiosity applies to my skills in retouching photos or working on film and video. I like to engage in an assignment from start to finish. I like learning all the software updates to apply the latest technologies to strengthen the piece I’m working on.As a photo retoucher, I pride myself on my ability to create images that look real and believable even with insane compositing. I bring the organic feel to a piece that only someone with an insatiable drive can do.

Paul Campbell

About the artist I received my BFA degree from Massachusetts College of Art in 1975. There I met and studied with many highly acclaimed artists including conceptual artist Dougles Heubler and video artist Nam Juin Paik. At this time conceptual and video art were beginning to dominate.

However, my primary interest remained with painting. I received the top prize for painting upon commencement. Since that time I have dedicated my life to a making art, specifically painting.

My wife Susan and I moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 1981, and our two children were both born there. I was actively involved in the Williamsburg art community from 1981 until 2011, when I moved to another part of Brooklyn. Some major examples of my involvement with the Williamsburg art community during that time include: starting the KAP program for children at Four Walls Gallery, organizing “The Building Show” at Minor Injury Gallery (the first art gallery in Greenpoint/Williamsburg), being one of the original participants in the Pierogi Gallery flat files, being the featured artist in the inaugural art exhibition at the Brooklyn Brewery, and being represented by Roebling Hall Gallery.

In addition to my involvement in the Williamsburg community, I have worked on projects in other communities in the US and abroad. 1996 I organized an exhibition called “Image/Afterimage” at the Workspace Gallery in New York City. This show focused on visual memory and highlighted ten artists including Eric Fishl and Robert Ryman. In 2003 I received the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant. In 2007 I was invited to travel to India and participate in the Art/Ochre residency program. In 2010 I received a grant from the Singapore International Foundation to execute a collaborative painting project with Shih Yun Yeo. This project engaged the public in the process of making abstract paintings. It was realized on the Coney Island boardwalk and was called “Coney Island Abstract”. In 2011 I was one of two artists from the US invited to take part in the traveling exhibition “Globalization-Connections-Time” organized by Yasemin Yilmaz. More recently I traveled to Singapore to participate in Instinc 10, a collaboration of flve international artist and flve artists based in Singapore. instinc10.wordpress.com (https://instinc10.wordpress.com/) In 2011 I relocated my studio to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This move has been a stimulating change. It has spurred new solo works and public art making projects, such as the Go Brooklyn open studio project and “A Day in a Life at the Brooklyn Navy Yard”, a 65 foot mural based on GPS tracks on Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, NY. bny92-mural.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com (http://bny92-mural.s3-websiteus-east-1.amazonaws.com/)

Peter Hart

About the artist My name is Peter Hart. I am originally from North Carolina but now I consider myself a Brooklynite after living in the borough for the last few years. I started my acting career in 2009 in South America (Uruguay) where I was lucky enough to be on two national television shows and an acting workshop. Upon returning to New York I landed a role in a feature film based in Italy. Since then I’ve been building my reel and doing all types of work between New York and Europe. I just finished my fifth feature, a Colombian/Venezuelan production based here in NYC. I believe that I’m a very strong actor. A chameleon of sorts, with tons of real life experience. I have also done print work for Esquire, Bloomingdale’s, Plantronix, Marc Stone Fashion and Schwinn Bicycles as well as some commercial work.

I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Since then I have lived a nomadic life, working on different kinds of projects, but mostly teaching and interpreting. I knew I found my niche once I started working on both sides of the camera. That was three years ago.

Since then I’ve lived all over the globe: North Carolina, Spain, Colombia, France, NYC, Uruguay, Argentina, and Italy. I also speak four languages: English, Spanish, French and Italian. I hope you like my profile and I look forward to working with you in the near future.

Pia Coronel

About the artist The foundation of my work is based on displacement and the obscure means by which we search for the “original place” from whence we came. An estrangement from its deepest understanding of aloneness separation from our center that once was intact, but now is thrown off into a vague understanding of the loss which we plod along to find and even sometimes desperately hurl ourselves into situations looking for traces of it.

In my work I think about the idea of patterns and routine as formulas in our daily lives by which, I believe, we create predictable and pedantic structures as we know them to create order. In my photographic process I see life as theater, where there is a playwright (the structure) and the performer (the self) who are both acted by myself. I use natural materials such as found wood to represent our connection with nature and how these similarities shakeup the way we view our position and understanding of our existence. I create foregrounds and backgrounds in my work as a metaphor for the illusion of absolutes in life, and the gaps, and distortions in my compositions refer to the struggle between seeing things My process involves exploring the feelings and emotions of separation and loss from a self we once knew in order to awaken from stagnation and instigate growth.

Raimundo Rubio

About the artist My work seeks to find and represent the hidden spaces residing between the impetuous forces of the subconscious and the controlling mechanisms of reason and the conscious. In the latest series of paintings in particular, the surfaces enact a collision between the rational and the emotional, between nature and culture, opposite aspects that are at once reciprocal and inseparable.

These collisions formally evoke an interplay of abstraction and figuration. The abstract elements recall Pollock, in that the action of a painting is what interests me. The composition of lyrical explosions, made of shooting, lighting, thrown and sprinkled sprays of strong colors dissolve onto the canvas leaving the delicate, lacy, swirling marks that evoke the movements and changes of the cosmos. Figurative elements – fowl and animals, fruits, foliage and spirals, webs and nets are interspersed with the abstract passages alluding to the continuity of forces between the micro and the macrocosm.

With respect to the rational, I aim to investigate the geometry and the mathematical inherent in our lives. The line, whether straight or curved, is an idealization while simultaneously the essence of all construction and creation. Russian Constructivism, with its social and ideological objectives, has been my greatest influence in respect to what I call rational representation, especially the works of Kasimir Malevich and Vassily Kandinsky. In this manner I continue to develop a personal style in which a fusion or equilibrium between emotion and rationality can be found within the magic too of pigment and color.

My most recent work examines the historical transformation of visual signs. In different cultures, these signs had encoded ideas of religion, political identity and nationhood globally. My works juxtapose notions of depth and surface, profound and superficial, while revealing the changes underwent by the functioning of visual signs in the representation of culture. From antiquity – where sings conveyed convey spiritual, social, or political meanings – visual signs had become labels whose content can be bought or sold in the marketplace.

Ramón J. Goñi

About the artist Ramón J. Goñi is a director, cinematographer and a producer. He’s also SWOON NYC (http://swoonnyc.com/)‘s founder and managing director.

In the early years of his career, Goñi worked as a correspondent in the US, UK, France and Spain for BBC News and several other international media outlets. After many years of intensive work with words – in English, Spanish and French – he felt the need to leap into a visual and more universal language: film direction and cinematography.

His work has been featured on some of the most influential fashion publications such as W Magazine, Vanity Fair, Vogue, SHOWstudio and Fashion TV as well as in art galleries and fashion film festivals around the world.

His style lays somewhere in between fashion neo-noir, classic elegance visual storytelling and a fresh, upbeat vibe. He likes to describe his work as in between places. He often takes inspiration from the intensity and subjectivity of human emotions, avoiding absolutes of any kind. His characters usually live in between some sort of surreal limbo and an expressionist stylized reality, inspired by either literary or artistic sources.

Rana Santacruz

About the artist As the ethnic make-up of America changes, so does its music. And with a passel of influences under his belt, Rana Santacruz makes music for that new America.

Santacruz’s solo debut Chicavasco – released March 9, 2010- is the product of a vibrant musical vision that was shaped by growing up in Mexico City and coming of age in a musical world informed by MTV, where all styles of music are accessible like never before.

Santacruz writes and sings the songs, as well as playing accordion and a variety of stringed instruments. To flesh out his tunes, he enlisted a cast of a dozen versatile musicians who add a folk and neo-classical flare with violin, cello, sax and jaw harp as well as traditional Mexican mariachi instruments like guitarrón, vihuela, trumpet and tuba.

The instrumentation, richness of the sound, and delicate touch are reminiscent of Tucson’s Calexico but with a softer edge and sharper focus. Often singing in a lilting falsetto, the melodies soar, inbued with the kind of passion found in Cuban son and Portuguese fado, while the music takes you not only north and south of the border, but across the Atlantic and back.

Born and raised in Mexico City, Santacruz had considerable success with his rock en español band La Catrina. Courted by a number of labels, the group signed with a major label in Mexico in the late ’90s. His flrst experience with the music industry was a classic crash-andburn; after recording in Mexico, Madrid and Miami, the CD failed to deliver a quick radio hit and his demoralized group soon disbanded.

In 2002, setting his sights well beyond the insular Mexican pop scene, Santacruz made the move from Mexico City to New York City. Living in Brooklyn and drawing on influences including the golden age of Mexican cinema, the magical realism novels of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, musicians like Tom Waits, the Smiths and the Pogues, and American bluegrass, Santacruz set about recording a collection of songs assimilating those disparate influences.

The resulting CD, Chicavasco – named for a small town in the state of Hidalgo where La Catrina played a particularly surreal concert — is beautifully conceived and artfully produced. Not surprising since Alex Venguer, who joined Santacruz in producing the disk, just took home a GRAMMY© for “Best Traditional Folk Album” for his part in Loudon Wainright’s High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project.

In its subtle, understated way, the CD’s opening “Yo Se” (I Know) is quite different than anything you’re likely to have heard: counterpoint between accordion and banjo sets the stage for Santacruz’s vocals; midway through the song a fiddle picks up the banjo line. Although sung in Spanish, the melody brings to mind a Celtic sea shanty. Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of this cross-cultural mélange is how organic and natural it sounds.

“Ojitos de Maguey” (Little Cactus Eyes) mixes lively Mexican jarocho rhythms with the rich textures of 21st Century folk while “Dejala Entrar” (Let Her In) conjures a neo-classical cabaret somewhere between Mexico and Vienna. Then there’s the Tex-Mex, marching band (and tubadriven) “Guajolote y Pavorreal” (The Turkey and the Peacock) and “El Ranchero Punk” (The Punk Rancher) , an uptempo, ranchero-bluegrassold-time-polka-rap-yodel. Far from a trendy, genre mash-up, it’s a spirited dance tune that, like the rest of the CD, manages to eclipse all its influences.

Like the classic Mexican songs of Chavela Vargas, Agustin Lara and Jose Alfredo Jimenez, Santacruz’s lyrical descriptions of romance are equal parts love and tragedy, and delivered with passion and conviction. “Mexican culture is very complex, but in a lot of traditional art forms like old songs and films, you find very pure, sweet feelings,” he said. “I tried to rescue this simplicity and bring my songs down to earth as much I can.”

But if Santacruz’s lyrical style is admittedly innocent, he approaches life using both sides of his brain. He earned a degree in the Music Business program at New York University, and hired on to work at Sony Music.

To date, Santacruz has won over American audiences of all stripes at showcases like Austin’s South by Southwest, New York’s Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival and Los Angeles’ J. Paul Getty Museum. Santacruz’s music is indeed music for a new America, if not a new world. And regardless of your Spanish language skills, you will understand every nuance of emotion in these grooves.

Ray Sell

About the artist If you’re of an age that can remember a time before the constant bombardment of news and celebrity culture, this quote attacking the role of media may hold a palpable signiflcance. In only the last few years with the rise of gossip rags and television shows dedicated to Tinseltown’s elite, high-speed internet updates every few seconds gathering news from the far reaches of the world, and the truly metaphysical: blogs about blogging; a constant stream of information, at the same time relevant and grossly redundant, is suffocating our society under the pillow of subliminal messaging and “organic” advertising.

“Television is not the truth. Television is a goddamned amusement park.”

–

Howard Beale from the film Network, 1976

The work of Ray Sell attempts to simultaneously dissect the messaging and provide commentary on this phenomenon, particularly focusing on its impact on the development of the male archetype. Taking images and magazine clippings from a vast swath of media over the last 60 years, Mr. Sell is determined to create a forum for self-reflection and debate, and question the very ethos by which our culture rears its male brood. By capturing and re-appropriating images of motorcycles and muscle cars, nude women and flerce beasts, cowboys and Indians – Mr. Sell has created a different message with his assemblage of fantastic collage arrangement, vivid colors and these poignant relics from media of days past. By removing the images from their original environs, he has stripped them of their intended meaning and given them his own voice.

Often whimsical and rarely intended to elicit political response, Mr. Sell’s electric, colorful work provides its viewers with an opportunity to really look at what’s being transmitted through imagery and decide how they themselves will respond.

Ray Sell received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts in New York. As co-founder of the Bird Beak collective in 2006 with fellow artists Nick Dyball and Tuf Weidner, Ray has worked with the group to bring attention to new artists from his intimate social circles.

Rebeca Vallejo

About the artist “Nothing about her music is deliberately marketable, but all of it is remarkable. By staying true to her singular vision, she’s opening minds” Tris McCall, The Star Ledger Madrid born vocalist and composer Rebeca Vallejo is a most versatile and innovative performer. Known for combining her ancestral Flamenco roots, her deep love and understanding of Brazilian music, with the language of Jazz, Rebeca Vallejo deftly weaves all these elements into a sound that is truly unique. “Azúcar, Canela” reaches beyond what’s purely “entertaining” in order to create a unifying journey where three musical cultures, three countries (Spain, Brazil, US), and three different types of “blues” converge.

Through her magnetic and commanding stage presence Rebeca Vallejo develops an interestingly raw multi-cultural “concept trio” of piano– drums/percussion– voice. Accompanied by George Dulin (Kenny Werner, Chris Potter, John Scofield) at the piano, and David Silliman (Cassandra Wilson, Edmar Castañeda, Al DiMeola) playing drums/ percussion, this trio delivers a powerful and poignant live performance experience.

Rebeca Vallejo’s musical accomplishments include numerous performances in renown events (Jazz Aspen Gala accompanied by Chucho Valdes’s band, Havana, Cuba), festivals (Gentse Feesten, Gent, Belgium), and venues such as the Modern Art Museum in Salvador (Brazil), Carnegie Hall (NY), Kennedy Center (Washington) and the United States Capitol (accompanying Gospel Grammy award winners Yolanda Adams and Dorinda Clark)

Robert Gould

About the artist I create art work using both historical events and historic places as subject matter. The images that I create are inspired from historical text, photographic images, historical paintings and drawings, as well as maps. They often include the very soil and plant matter collected from actual the sites. I combine these elements to evoke a common residue of historical experience. My aesthetic impetus is creating a new interpretation of human kind’s conflicts amongst our self’s and the relentless forces of our natural surroundings. Is there some way that I can add a vitalization to events that I have selected? What does that say about me and the time that I live in? Photography helps to capture a pictorial aspect of a place in a direct way. I use pinhole cameras and restored 19th century cameras to further evoke a sense of time.

Collaging materials on top of the photographic image guides the viewer to consider other possibilities.

I am a visual artist based in Brooklyn NY. I have participated in group exhibitions in Japan, Switzerland, and New York from 1988-2014. I am an audio engineer that has worked in radio and television. For NPR radio, NBC, CBS, and MSNBC. I am currently the teaching technical director of theater, at Sarah Lawrence College.

Robin Antar

About the artist My passion for sculpting is expressed in my creation of the virtual records of contemporary culture. I capture everyday objects in carved stone, using a technique I invented more than 20 years ago.

At the start I mull over the food, article of clothing or particular brand I wish to replicate as historical evidence for future generations. I feel driven to duplication by carving stone of similar color – or purchasing one of neutral tones and staining it to that which I desire.

I ask myself, ‘Will a bottle of Heinz ketchup exist in 2100 CE?’ A jar of Hellman’s Real Mayonnaise is best represented in white travertine, for example, polished to the same glow of the jar I am copying.

And when I see friends scrutinize the carved hat on the table, endless hours of chiseling and sanding, staining and mounting are all worth it.

I’ve achieved my goal when the U.S. government writes to tell me I cannot copyright a work of art because it too closely resembles the product that I chose to record in stone.

The day I received that letter was one of the happiest days of my life.

Roxanne Jackson

About the artist Roxanne Jackson is a ceramic artist and mixed media sculptor living in Brooklyn. Her macabre works are blackly-humored, investigating the link between human transformation, myth and kitsch. Jackson’s work has been exhibited at Lu Magnus, Radiator Gallery, English Kills, BRIC, BAM, Airplane Gallery, Hunter College and Denny Gallery in New York, as well as at the Mutter Museum, Hunterdon Art Museum, Museum of Aveiro, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Grassi Museum. She has shown in China, Portugal, Romania, Canada and cities including London, Berlin and Leipzig. She received grants from NYFA, Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Jerome Foundation, Queens Arts Council, Kansas City Artists Coalition, Oregon Arts Commission and others. Roxanne has been an Artist in Residence at the Bemis Center, the Wassaic Project, Socrates Sculpture Park, Ceramic Center of Berlin, the Pottery Workshop in China, Chashama’s: ChaNorth, Oregon College of Art and Craft and, she will be a residing artist at Hunter College this year.

In my work, I explore themes of extinction, death and transformation. I am fascinated with the natural processes of decay and destruction— particularly when in conflict with human systems. Nature is referenced, not by depicting the virile stag, but by illustrating its inevitable decay.

Valuing macabre sensibilities, my work is also seasoned with inspiration derived from the idiosyncrasies and banality of pop culture; the final result may seem uncanny or blackly humored.

Occasionally I appropriate imagery from myth or horror films, particularly the moment of transformation when a human becomes a beast.

This transgressive imagery imbues the work with irony and tension, especially when produced from the medium of clay—with its strong historical ties to comfort and beauty. Rooted in traditions of pantheism and superstition, the horror movie depicts a dark side of human nature. Mutated creatures are created in the murky depths of our collective subconscious. These images ride the boundaries between animal and human, instinct and reason, the conscious and the subconscious.

The human (or animal) figure is used as a point of departure, so that I may distort it. For instance, in I’ve Been Known to Ride on Chrome, I deconstruct an image of a domestic cat and a snake to depict the internal duality of beauty and beastly rooted in Jungian psychology.

Domestic cats offer furry, lovable companionship and are a common subject of kitsch. Kitty-themed tchotchkes are ubiquitous—they thrive in the form of figurines and cookie jars. Meanwhile, snakes are collectively misunderstood to be merely venomous and loathsome, their imagery effectively utilized in the creepy tattoos that identify Lord Voldemort’s allies (in Rowling’s Harry Potter series). The quotidian belief of the western populace accepts that the cat is cuddlesome while the snake is inherently evil and directly associated with sin. However, when a cat becomes frightened, it transforms into a more beastly animal: fang teeth revealed, ears pulled back, hissing. (This is supposedly the feline’s attempt at mimicry). On the contrary, the vulnerable state of a coiled, sleeping snake may resemble a harmless lap cat. I have chosen these two animals in order to better mock the mythos of popular culture.

Utilizing ‘crafty’ materials – Papier-Mache, marbled paper, yarn and ceramic – new works are inspired by feminine retro-beasts, such as Harpies, Sirens, Medusa and Yetis; these archaic figures are appropriated with imagery found in present-day subcultures. For example, my sculpture Harpy, draws from Black Metal, the subgenre of extreme metal music, and Neoshamanism; Feed Me Diamonds is heavily influenced by present-day female icons (like Lady Gaga, Yolandi, Beyonce and Brooke Candy) and obsolete Mermaid folklore; and the yeti paw, Money To Burn, draws from contemporary nail culture. This postmodern gesture runs parallel with T.S. Eliot’s thoughts on the manipulation of a “continuous parallel between contemporaneity and antiquity.” Furthermore, this brazen use of mixed media simultaneously denies and redefines the notion of craft.

Sahana Ramakrishnan

About the artist Sahana Ramakrishnan is a Brooklyn based artist who was born in Mumbai and educated in Singapore and America. She received her BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design.

Sahana’s work thrives off the drama that exists in cultural melting pots. Fascinated with the influence religion, myth, and fiction have on our daily lives, she explores how the human body traverses a space that straddles the fantastical and the mundane. She marries the freakish, the funny, and the beautiful in images that simultaneously glorify and laugh at the human body. Many of her paintings, drawings, and prints are vibrant with grotesque imagery – bodies grab, eat, caress, and spill out of one another in an exaggerated and literal interpretation of our closeness with other beings on this planet.

Sahana’s images combine observation and invention. She draws from life, observing people around her and allowing her imagination to insert into her drawings elements of surreal or bizarre narratives she has encountered. Her inspiration ranges from human biology and anatomy to her experiences in tropical reefs and rainforests; from Buddhist and Hindu mythology to the diversity and drama in the lives of people she interacts with everyday.

Satoko Fujii

About the artist Critics and fans alike hail pianist and composer SATOKO FUJII as one of the most original voices in jazz today. A truly global artist, she tours internationally leading several ensembles based in Japan, Europe, and the United States. Just as her career spans international borders, her music spans many genres, blending jazz, contemporary classical, rock, and traditional Japanese music into an innovative synthesis instantly recognizable as hers alone. Her wide-ranging compositions can incorporate the simple melodies of folk song, the harmonic sophistication of jazz, the rhythmic power of rock, and the extended forms of symphonic composers. Although Fujii’s compositions are full of sudden shifts in direction and mood, the extremes are always part of a greater conceptual whole. The 2015 El Intruso International Critics Poll recognized her as one of the composers of the year. As an improviser, Fujii is equally wide-ranging and virtuosic. In her solos, explosive free jazz energy mingles with delicate melodicism and a broad palette of timbre and textures.

“Unpredictable, wildly creative, and uncompromising…Fujii is an absolutely essential listen for anyone interested in the future of jazz.”

— Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz Born on October 9, 1958 in Tokyo, Japan, Fujii began playing piano at four and received classical training until twenty, when she turned to jazz. From 1985 to 1987, she studied at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, where her teachers included Herb Pomeroy and Bill Pierce. She returned to Japan for six years before going back to the US to study at the New England Conservatory in Boston, where her teachers included George Russell, Cecil McBee, and Paul Bley, who appeared on her debut CD Something About Water (Libra, 1996).

“She is the Ellington of free jazz.” ―Bob Rusch, Cadence

Since then Fujii has been an innovative bandleader and soloist, a tireless seeker of new sounds, and a proliflc recording artist in ensembles ranging from duos to big bands. She has showcased her astonishing range and ability on more than 80 CDs as leader or co-leader. With each recording or new band, she explores new aspects of her art.

Sicobondi

About the artist Sicobondi is easy and hard to explain.

Sometimes it’s a bondi (Bondi is a slang word that means bus), simple, touring the streets of Buenos Aires, fllling up the smells and colors of the landscape, rock, love and loss, urban poetry. Other times this bondi, becomes bohemian, and the bus driver puts on the stereo up loud, spinetta, divididos, charly, the clash and even Chet Baker. Not to mention when he grabs the detour and tuck to Brooklyn with their tango in English. Sicobondi is a mixture of Rock, Argentine Slang, Poetry, Urban and Brooklyn.

Sion Fullana

About the artist After working several communication flelds, I landed into photography as the perfect way of visual storytelling. From my background in journalism, I put into my work the will to capture the truest and most honest essence of a subject, an event, a person, a moment on the street, and tell their story the best possible way. From my fllmmaking studies I incorporate a cinematic aesthetic/mood to my photographs that seeks to bring all the elements in the frame to create evocative images that convey strong stories in the audience’s mind.

Growing up, psychology was always a second vocation, and even though it was a path I did not follow, I brought from it a very heightened curiosity towards studying the human spirit, and a natural sense of empathy that proves very useful to connect with my subjects and the work I’m doing. It also helps me “feel” the scene or situation in front of me, to know the best moment when to take the shot, either with someone I’m taking a portrait of, a candid situation in the city, some actors engaged in a scene, or a speaker on a stage.

My work includes photography (favorite genres Street Photography, Portraiture and Entertainment) and journalism, with a background in fllmmaking (both flction and documentary). I love capturing stories and emotions from life and sharing them with the world through the new visual social media channels!

I’ve been considered among the pioneers of Mobile Photography since 2008. My photographic work has been featured in group international exhibits, magazines, newspapers, blogs, TV segments and even three book covers. One of my cellphone images is on the permanent collection of the High Museum of Art (Atlanta). I’ve also been a public speaker about Visual Storytelling, Mobile Photography and Street Photography.

I’m proud to have worked with a diverse group of clients, from entertainment celebrities in my work with theater (24 Hour Broadway Plays), music (Best Song Oscar winner, singer and actress Marketa Irglova), corporate entrepreneurial businesses (Blue Coat, Gamiflcation Co), fashion (BAR III for Macy’s, Tory Burch, Clash by Dash) and a diverse array of brands like Beefeater, HP, Panasonic, etc. to apply creative and artistic work with them.

Alongside my husband Anton Kawasaki, I’m the co-founder and instructor of the Mobile Photo Workshop: “The Storytelling Series”, a group of online workshops on Street Photography, Portraiture and the concept of “Documenting Your World (through journalistic and documentary techniques), all through the use of mobile devices only and focused on the concept of #Storytelling.

Sue Burickson

About the artist Sue Burickson is a conceptual new media sculptor/video artist . Born in Brooklyn . she attended college at Radcliffe, UCLA and UC/Berkeley.

She studied with Paul Reynard, a pupil of Fernand Leger, for 10 years and also at the Art Students League, SVA, Manhattan Graphics and the National Academy. Her studio is in Brooklyn.

Initially, she worked as a portrait painter of Civil War Reenactors. Frustrated by the inability to adequately portray their inner landscape using a 2 dimensional medium and inspired by Bill Viola’s “The Crossing”, she turned to sculpture with embedded videos. Transmedia Portraits was born.

In 2010, she discovered Ron Mueck’s work at the Brooklyn museum and understood the effect of scale on the viewer. She began a series of life size Centaur sculptures with videos in the chest and the head called “The Inner Life of Centaurs”. The Centaur was chosen to symbolize the two natures of man. The body of the Centaur is covered with gold seashells to represent the outer persona. The gold shells tarnish over time. The “Inner Life of Centaurs” explores the relationship between the body, mind and feelings in man.

In 2012, she followed the work of Michelangelo Pistoletto’s mirror paintings who expressed the value of engaging the viewer more directly.

Currently, she is investigating new interactive technologies for her installations.

Throughout her career, she has drawn inspiration from, Gurdjieff, Christian mysticism, Zen Buddhism and Sufism.

Victor Prieto

About the artist There are some musicians who always get classified in the “beyond” categories in the magazine polls. They are usually musicians that are in such a unique area of music that there are few peers to make a single category for their respective instrumental talent and focus. Victor Prieto belongs to that list.

Grammy Nominee Victor Prieto is hailed by The New York Times as “A fiendishly skilled accordionist and composer” and by The All About Jazz as “One of the best World music and Jazz accordionists now days”.

He has changed the way musicians and spectators view accordion by revolutionizing both technique and sound (Chord approach on both hands). His love for the traditional Galician music and classical education enriches his compositions with explosive rhythm and colors uniquely combining Galician Roots, Celtic, Brazilian, Jazz, Tango, and Classical music Victor continues collaborating on world stages with Yo-Yo Ma (Songs of Joy and Peace, Sony BMG Masterworks. “2010 Grammy Winning Album”), Arturo O’Farrill Latin Jazz Orchestra, The Maria Schneider Orchestra, Emilio Solla (“Second Half” 2014 Grammy Nominated album) Paquito D’Rivera, Cristina Pato, Chris Cheek, Christian Howes Group.

Vincent Ciniglio

About the artist My interest in the human figure, filtered through imagination and experience, is the subject of my paintings. They depict the human form in a number of its infinite manifestations. Through the use of color and dramatic setting I hope to reveal a psychological and emotional reality.

Vincent Romaniello

About the artist Two things I’m concerned with in my work are magic and mechanics. By ‘magic’ I mean the unknown, the unexpected. By ‘mechanics’ I mean the actual making of the work: the materials and methods, both traditional and new, that bring it into being. Sometimes the mechanics itself seems magical.

Magic, of course, can be found everywhere if we keep our eyes open enough. It’s active in lucky flnds, unlikely pairings and serendipitous encounters, for example, and it inhabits inspirational spaces like art studios, houses of worship, urban centers, rural landscapes, and curious corners in attics in old homes.

Entire bodies of work have been sparked by a tiny piece of litter I found on the sidewalk. I consider it an important part of my practice to actively observe the world around me. I consider observation and reflection to be just as important to the creative process as experimentation and the creation of objects. For me, the former activities always give way to the latter.

I often approach the actual making of objects intuitively, allowing elements like subject matter, form and color to flnd me as I seek them. I like to think that casual mechanics leave more room for magic.

Xia Tio

About the artist Xia Tio was born in Cologne, Germany. She received her BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts in New York Her work investigates the transitory state of culture and identity. In her series Nowhere she explores notions of home. Being in a state of flux, the encounters with people in her photographs become a mediation to a personal yet foreign place. In her most current series, she touches on aspects of identity, raising questions about ethnographically charged constructions of the other. The work speaks of ideologies, colonialism and oral history. She has exhibited her work in the United States and has been published internationally in print and online journals.

Xiao Fu

About the artist I create works that are mainly concerned with my personal observations about the urban life experience. Through living in several metropolitan areas I have witnessed many aspects unique to residing in such settings, such as a sense of crowded loneliness and the resulting psychological distance between people in close physical proximity. As an international artist now living in New York City, I often feel helpless and stressful due to the cultural differences, the towering buildings, and the immense amount of neighbors I share this city with. Therefore, I often see a wall, both metaphorically as well as literally blocking me from the outside world.

In my work I minimize the cityscape to simple geometric forms to present how I see the urban environment and the relationship between its people, its spaces, and its structures. I work both two and three-dimensionally and experiment with different media and art forms to vary the impact of each piece. My goal in creating art is to allow a viewer the opportunity to observe contemporary social constructs from a distance, providing them with a new perspective.
